TECHNICAL FIELD

Methods of treating cancer with antibodies that bind colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

BACKGROUND

Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (referred to herein as CSF1R; also referred to in the art as FMS, FIM2, C-FMS, M-CSF receptor, and CDl15) is a single-pass transmembrane receptor with an N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and a C-terminal intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase activity. Ligand binding of CSF1 or the interleukin 34 ligand (referred to herein as IL-34; Lin et al., Science 320: 807-11 (2008)) to CSF1R leads to receptor dimerization, upregulation of CSF1R protein tyrosine kinase activity, phosphorylation of CSF1R tyrosine residues, and downstream signaling events. CSF1R activation by CSF1 or IL-34 leads to the trafficking, survival, proliferation, and differentiation of monocytes and macrophages, as well as other monocytic cell lineages such as osteoclasts, dendritic cells, and microglia.

Many tumor cells or tumor stromal cells have been found to produce CSF1, which activates monocyte/macrophage cells through CSF1R. The level of CSF1 in tumors has been shown to correlate with the level of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor. Higher levels of TAMs have been found to correlate with poorer patient prognoses in the majority of cancers. In addition, CSF1 has been found to promote tumor growth and progression to metastasis in, for example, human breast cancer xenografts in mice. See, e.g., Paulus et al., Cancer Res. 66: 4349-56 (2006). Further, CSF1R plays a role in osteolytic bone destruction in bone metastasis. See, e.g., Ohno et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 5: 2634-43 (2006). TAMs promote tumor growth, in part, by suppressing anti-tumor T cell effector function through the release of immunosuppressive cytokines and the expression of T cell inhibitory surface proteins.

Genetic alterations in cancer provide a diverse set of antigens that can mediate anti-tumor immunity. Antigen recognition through T-cell receptors (TCRs) initiate T-cell-responses, which are regulated by a balance between activating and inhibitory signals. The inhibitory signals, or “immune checkpoints,” play an important role in normal tissues by preventing autoimmunity. Up-regulation of immune checkpoint proteins allows cancers to evade anti-tumor immunity. Two immune checkpoint proteins have been the focus of clinical cancer immunotherapeutics, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). The combination of an anti-CTLA-4 antibody and an anti-PD-1 antibody has been approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and several additional clinical trials are also ongoing to study the use of this combination for the treatment of other cancers. Anti-PD-1 antibodies and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies for use as monotherapies are also currently being studied in clinical trials as a treatment for many different types of cancer. Anti-PD-L1 antibodies which bind PD-L1, one of the ligands for PD-1, are also currently in clinical development.

Many tumors often express multiple checkpoint molecules simultaneously, Therefore, combinations of checkpoint modulators are undergoing clinical testing with aim of improved efficacy. Initial clinical results of the combination of an anti-CTLA-4 antibody (anti-CTLA-4 Ab) and an anti-PD-1 antibody (anti-PD-1 Ab) have demonstrated improved overall response rates, increased complete response rates, as well as overall survival rates in metastatic melanoma, compared to anti-CTLA-4 Ab alone or historical controls.

As described herein, significant antitumor activity of an anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with an anti-CSF1R antibody has been demonstrated in clinical trials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of many cancers, and correlate with poor prognosis. Inhibition of CSF1R can reduce immunosuppressive TAMs in mouse models and human tumors. See, e.g., Ries et al., 2014, Cancer Cell, 25: 846-859; Pyontech et al., 2013, Nature Med., 19: 1264-1272; and Zhu et al., 2014, Cancer Res., 74: 5057-5069. Small molecule inhibition of CSF1R synergizes with immune checkpoint blockade in a pancreatic tumor model. See Zhu et al., 2014, Cancer Res., 74: 5057-5069. While not intending to be bound by any particular theory, the present invention is directed to methods of treating tumors that may have both CSF1R-expressing TAMs and PD-1-expressing CD8+ T cells and will be sensitive to combination therapy with an anti-CSF1R antibody and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. In some instances, tumors that have both CSF1R-expressing TAMs and PD-1-expressing CD8+ T cells may be resistant to PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy, but should be sensitive to the combination therapy. Through expression analysis, the present inventors have identified certain tumor types that have both CSF1R-expressing TAMs and PD-1-expressing CD8+ T cells, including, but not limited to, bladder cancer, cervical cancer (such as squamous cell cervical cancer), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN), rectal adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), endometrial cancer, prostate adenocarcinoma, colon cancer, ovarian cancer (such as serous epithelial ovarian cancer), and melanoma. Similarly, without intending to be bound by any particular theory, tumors that have high levels of CSF1R-expressing TAMs, which are suppressing PD-1-expressing CD8+ T cells may be sensitive to combination therapy, for example, because inhibition of TAMs with an anti-CSF1R antibody may boost PD-1 expressing CD8+ T cells, rendering the tumor sensitive to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor.

Accordingly, the present invention provides methods of treating cancer comprising administering an anti-CSF1R antibody and a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is an antibody. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is an antibody that inhibits PD-1. In some such embodiments, the anti-PD-1 antibody disrupts PD-L1 binding to PD-1. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is an antibody that binds to PD-L1. In some such embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 antibody disrupts PD-L1 binding to PD-1. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is a fusion protein that disrupts PD-L1 binding to PD-1, such as AMP-224. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is a peptide that disrupts PD-L1 binding to PD-1, such as AUR-012.

As noted above, in certain embodiments, the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is an anti-PD-L1 antibody. In some embodiments, an anti-PD-L1 Ab can be substituted for the anti-PD-1 Ab in any of the therapeutic methods or compositions disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 Ab is BMS-936559 (formerly 12A4 or MDX-1105) (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,943,743; WO 2013/173223). In other embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 Ab is MPDL3280A (also known as RG7446) (see, e.g., Herbst; U.S. Pat. No. 8,217,149) or MEDI4736 (Khleif, 2013).

The term “leader sequence” refers to a sequence of amino acid residues located at the N terminus of a polypeptide that facilitates secretion of a polypeptide from a mammalian cell. A leader sequence may be cleaved upon export of the polypeptide from the mammalian cell, forming a mature protein. Leader sequences may be natural or synthetic, and they may be heterologous or homologous to the protein to which they are attached.

Exemplary leader sequences include, but are not limited to, antibody leader sequences, such as, for example, the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 4, which correspond to human light and heavy chain leader sequences, respectively. Nonlimiting exemplary leader sequences also include leader sequences from heterologous proteins. In some embodiments, an antibody lacks a leader sequence. In some embodiments, an antibody comprises at least one leader sequence, which may be selected from native antibody leader sequences and heterologous leader sequences.

The term “vector” is used to describe a polynucleotide that may be engineered to contain a cloned polynucleotide or polynucleotides that may be propagated in a host cell. A vector may include one or more of the following elements: an origin of replication, one or more regulatory sequences (such as, for example, promoters and/or enhancers) that regulate the expression of the polypeptide of interest, and/or one or more selectable marker genes (such as, for example, antibiotic resistance genes and genes that may be used in colorimetric assays, e.g., β-galactosidase). The term “expression vector” refers to a vector that is used to express a polypeptide of interest in a host cell.

A “host cell” refers to a cell that may be or has been a recipient of a vector or isolated polynucleotide. Host cells may be prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells.

The term “isolated” as used herein refers to a molecule that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it is typically found in nature. For example, a polypeptide is referred to as “isolated” when it is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced. Where a polypeptide is secreted by a cell after expression, physically separating the supernatant containing the polypeptide from the cell that produced it is considered to be “isolating” the polypeptide. Similarly, a polynucleotide is referred to as “isolated” when it is not part of the larger polynucleotide (such as, for example, genomic DNA or mitochondrial DNA, in the case of a DNA polynucleotide) in which it is typically found in nature, or is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced, e.g., in the case of an RNA polynucleotide. Thus, a DNA polynucleotide that is contained in a vector inside a host cell may be referred to as “isolated” so long as that polynucleotide is not found in that vector in nature.

The term “elevated level” means a higher level of a protein in a particular tissue of a subject relative to the same tissue in a control, such as an individual or individuals who are not suffering from cancer or other condition described herein. The elevated level may be the result of any mechanism, such as increased expression, increased stability, decreased degradation, increased secretion, decreased clearance, etc., of the protein.

The term “reduce” or “reduces” means to lower the level of a protein in a particular tissue of a subject by at least 10%. In some embodiments, an agent, such as an antibody that binds CSF1R or a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, reduces the level of a protein in a particular tissue of a subject by at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, or at least 90%. In some embodiments, the level of a protein is reduced relative to the level of the protein prior to contacting with an agent, such as an antibody that binds CSF1R or a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor.

The term “resistant,” when used in the context of resistance to a therapeutic agent, means a decreased response or lack of response to a standard dose of the therapeutic agent, relative to the subject's response to the standard dose of the therapeutic agent in the past, or relative to the expected response of a similar subject with a similar disorder to the standard dose of the therapeutic agent. Thus, in some embodiments, a subject may be resistant to therapeutic agent although the subject has not previously been given the therapeutic agent, or the subject may develop resistance to the therapeutic agent after having responded to the agent on one or more previous occasions.

The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a human. In some embodiments, methods of treating other mammals, including, but not limited to, rodents, simians, felines, canines, equines, bovines, porcines, ovines, caprines, mammalian laboratory animals, mammalian farm animals, mammalian sport animals, and mammalian pets, are also provided.

The term “sample,” as used herein, refers to a composition that is obtained or derived from a subject that contains a cellular and/or other molecular entity that is to be characterized, quantitated, and/or identified, for example based on physical, biochemical, chemical and/or physiological characteristics. An exemplary sample is a tissue sample.

The term “tissue sample” refers to a collection of similar cells obtained from a tissue of a subject. The source of the tissue sample may be solid tissue as from a fresh, frozen and/or preserved organ or tissue sample or biopsy or aspirate; blood or any blood constituents; bodily fluids such as cerebral spinal fluid, amniotic fluid, peritoneal fluid, synovial fluid, or interstitial fluid; cells from any time in gestation or development of the subject. In some embodiments, a tissue sample is a synovial biopsy tissue sample and/or a synovial fluid sample. In some embodiments, a tissue sample is a synovial fluid sample. The tissue sample may also be primary or cultured cells or cell lines. Optionally, the tissue sample is obtained from a disease tissue/organ. The tissue sample may contain compounds that are not naturally intermixed with the tissue in nature such as preservatives, anticoagulants, buffers, fixatives, nutrients, antibiotics, or the like. A “control sample” or “control tissue”, as used herein, refers to a sample, cell, or tissue obtained from a source known, or believed, not to be afflicted with the disease for which the subject is being treated.

For the purposes herein a “section” of a tissue sample means a part or piece of a tissue sample, such as a thin slice of tissue or cells cut from a solid tissue sample.

The term “cancer” is used herein to refer to a group of cells that exhibit abnormally high levels of proliferation and growth. A cancer may be benign (also referred to as a benign tumor), pre-malignant, or malignant. Cancer cells may be solid cancer cells or leukemic cancer cells. The term “cancer growth” is used herein to refer to proliferation or growth by a cell or cells that comprise a cancer that leads to a corresponding increase in the size or extent of the cancer.

Examples of cancer include but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. More particular nonlimiting examples of such cancers include squamous cell cancer, small-cell lung cancer, pituitary cancer, esophageal cancer, astrocytoma, soft tissue sarcoma, non-small cell lung cancer (including squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer), adenocarcinoma of the lung, squamous carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial or uterine carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney cancer, renal cell carcinoma, liver cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma, brain cancer, endometrial cancer, testis cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder carcinoma, gastric cancer, melanoma, and various types of head and neck cancer (including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck).

The term “recurrent cancer” refers to a cancer that has returned after a previous treatment regimen, following which there was a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected.

The term “progressive cancer” is a cancer that has increased in size or tumor spread since the beginning of a treatment regimen. In certain embodiments, a progressive cancer is a cancer that has increased in size or tumor spread by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, or at least 50% since the beginning of a treatment regimen.

By way of example, an “anti-cancer agent” promotes cancer regression in a subject. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of the drug promotes cancer regression to the point of eliminating the cancer. “Promoting cancer regression” means that administering an effective amount of the drug, alone or in combination with an anti-cancer agent, results in a reduction in tumor growth or size, necrosis of the tumor, a decrease in severity of at least one disease symptom, an increase in frequency and duration of disease symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability due to the disease affliction. In addition, the terms “effective” and “effectiveness” with regard to a treatment includes both pharmacological effectiveness and physiological safety. Pharmacological effectiveness refers to the ability of the drug to promote cancer regression in the patient. Physiological safety refers to the level of toxicity, or other adverse physiological effects at the cellular, organ and/or organism level (adverse effects) resulting from administration of the drug.

By way of example for the treatment of tumors, a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-cancer agent can inhibit cell growth, inhibit tumor growth, or reduce tumor size by at least about 5%, at least about 10%, by at least about 15%, at least about 20%, by at least about 25%, by at least about 30%, by at least about 40%, by at least about 50%, by at least about 60%, by at least about 70%, or by at least about 80%, by at least about 90%, by at least about 95%, or by at least about 100% relative to untreated subjects, relative to baseline, or, in certain embodiments, relative to patients treated with a standard-of-care therapy. In other embodiments of the invention, tumor regression can be observed and continue for a period of at least about 20 days, at least about 40 days, or at least about 60 days. Notwithstanding these ultimate measurements of therapeutic effectiveness, evaluation of immunotherapeutic drugs must also make allowance for “immune-related” response patterns.

By way of example for the treatment of tumors, a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-cancer agent can inhibit cell growth or tumor growth by at least about 20%, by at least about 30%, by at least about 40%, by at least about 50%, by at least about 60%, by at least about 70%, or by at least about 80% relative to untreated subjects.

In other embodiments of the invention, tumor regression can be observed and continue for a period of at least about 20 days, at least about 40 days, or at least about 60 days. Notwithstanding these ultimate measurements of therapeutic effectiveness, evaluation of immunotherapeutic drugs must also make allowance for “immune-related” response patterns.

An “immune-related” response pattern refers to a clinical response pattern often observed in cancer patients treated with immunotherapeutic agents that produce antitumor effects by inducing cancer-specific immune responses or by modifying native immune processes. This response pattern is characterized by a beneficial therapeutic effect that follows an initial increase in tumor burden or the appearance of new lesions, which in the evaluation of traditional chemotherapeutic agents would be classified as disease progression and would be synonymous with drug failure. Accordingly, proper evaluation of immunotherapeutic agents can require long-term monitoring of the effects of these agents on the target disease.

A “chemotherapeutic agent” is a chemical compound useful in the treatment of cancer. Examples of chemotherapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, alkylating agents such as thiotepa and Cytoxan® cyclosphosphamide; alkyl sulfonates such as busulfan, improsulfan and piposulfan; aziridines such as benzodopa, carboquone, meturedopa, and uredopa; ethylenimines and methylamelamines including altretamine, triethylenemelamine, trietylenephosphoramide, triethiylenethiophosphoramide and trimethylolomelamine; acetogenins (especially bullatacin and bullatacinone); a camptothecin (including the synthetic analogue topotecan); bryostatin; callystatin; CC-1065 (including its adozelesin, carzelesin and bizelesin synthetic analogues); cryptophycins (particularly cryptophycin 1 and cryptophycin 8); dolastatin; duocarmycin (including the synthetic analogues, KW-2189 and CB1-TM1); eleutherobin; pancratistatin; a sarcodictyin; spongistatin; nitrogen mustards such as chlorambucil, chlornaphazine, cholophosphamide, estramustine, ifosfamide, mechlorethamine, mechlorethamine oxide hydrochloride, melphalan, novembichin, phenesterine, prednimustine, trofosfamide, uracil mustard; nitrosureas such as carmustine, chlorozotocin, fotemustine, lomustine, nimustine, and ranimnustine; antibiotics such as the enediyne antibiotics (e.g., calicheamicin, especially calicheamicin gamma1I and calicheamicin omegaI1 (see, e.g., Agnew, Chem Intl.

An “anti-angiogenesis agent” or “angiogenesis inhibitor” refers to a small molecular weight substance, a polynucleotide (including, e.g., an inhibitory RNA (RNAi or siRNA)), a polypeptide, an isolated protein, a recombinant protein, an antibody, or conjugates or fusion proteins thereof, that inhibits angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, or undesirable vascular permeability, either directly or indirectly. It should be understood that the anti-angiogenesis agent includes those agents that bind and block the angiogenic activity of the angiogenic factor or its receptor. For example, an anti-angiogenesis agent is an antibody or other antagonist to an angiogenic agent, e.g., antibodies to VEGF-A (e.g., bevacizumab (Avastin©)) or to the VEGF-A receptor (e.g., KDR receptor or Flt-1 receptor), anti-PDGFR inhibitors such as Gleevec© (Imatinib Mesylate), small molecules that block VEGF receptor signaling (e.g., PTK787/ZK2284, SU6668, Sutent®/SU11248 (sunitinib malate), AMG706, or those described in, e.g., international patent application WO 2004/113304).

Oncol. 8:200-206 (e.g., Table 1 listing anti-angiogenic agents used in clinical trials).

A “growth inhibitory agent” as used herein refers to a compound or composition that inhibits growth of a cell (such as a cell expressing VEGF) either in vitro or in vivo. Thus, the growth inhibitory agent may be one that significantly reduces the percentage of cells (such as a cell expressing VEGF) in S phase. Examples of growth inhibitory agents include, but are not limited to, agents that block cell cycle progression (at a place other than S phase), such as agents that induce G1 arrest and M-phase arrest. Classical M-phase blockers include the vincas (vincristine and vinblastine), taxanes, and topoisomerase II inhibitors such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, daunorubicin, etoposide, and bleomycin. Those agents that arrest G1 also spill over into S-phase arrest, for example, DNA alkylating agents such as tamoxifen, prednisone, dacarbazine, mechlorethamine, cisplatin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and ara-C. Further information can be found in Mendelsohn and Israel, eds., The Molecular Basis of Cancer, Chapter 1, entitled “Cell cycle regulation, oncogenes, and antineoplastic drugs” by Murakami et al. (W.B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 1995), e.g., p. 13. The taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel) are anticancer drugs both derived from the yew tree. Docetaxel (Taxotere®, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer), derived from the European yew, is a semisynthetic analogue of paclitaxel (Taxol©, Bristol-Myers Squibb). Paclitaxel and docetaxel promote the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilize microtubules by preventing depolymerization, which results in the inhibition of mitosis in cells.

The term “anti-neoplastic composition” refers to a composition useful in treating cancer comprising at least one active therapeutic agent. Examples of therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, e.g., chemotherapeutic agents, growth inhibitory agents, cytotoxic agents, agents used in radiation therapy, anti-angiogenesis agents, cancer immunotherapeutic agents, apoptotic agents, anti-tubulin agents, and other-agents to treat cancer, such as anti-HER-2 antibodies, anti-CD20 antibodies, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist (e.g., a tyrosine kinase inhibitor), HER1/EGFR inhibitor (e.g., erlotinib (Tarceva©), platelet derived growth factor inhibitors (e.g., Gleevec© (Imatinib Mesylate)), a COX-2 inhibitor (e.g., celecoxib), interferons, CTLA-4 inhibitors (e.g., anti-CTLA antibody ipilimumab (YERVOY®)), PD-1 inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1 antibodies, BMS-936558), PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-L1 antibodies, MPDL3280A), PD-L2 inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-L2 antibodies), TIM3 inhibitors (e.g., anti-TIM3 antibodies), cytokines, antagonists (e.g., neutralizing antibodies) that bind to one or more of the following targets ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, PDGFR-beta, BlyS, APRIL, BCMA, PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, TIM3, or VEGF receptor(s), TRAIL/Apo2, and other bioactive and organic chemical agents, etc. Combinations thereof are also included in the invention.

An agent “antagonizes” factor activity when the agent neutralizes, blocks, inhibits, abrogates, reduces, and/or interferes with the activity of the factor, including its binding to one or more receptors when the factor is a ligand.

“Treatment,” as used herein, refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or disorder. In certain embodiments, the term “treatment” covers any administration or application of a therapeutic for disease in a mammal, including a human, and includes inhibiting or slowing the disease or progression of the disease; partially or fully relieving the disease, for example, by causing regression, or restoring or repairing a lost, missing, or defective function; stimulating an inefficient process; or causing the disease plateau to have reduced severity. The term “treatment” also includes reducing the severity of any phenotypic characteristic and/or reducing the incidence, degree, or likelihood of that characteristic. Those in need of treatment include those already with the disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in whom the disorder is to be prevented.

“Pre-treatment” or “baseline,” as used herein, refers to the status of a subject prior to administration of a particular therapy, e.g., prior to administration of an anti-cancer agent, e.g., an immunotherapy, e.g., an anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or an anti-CSF1R Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof. “Pre-treatment” can refer to the status of a treatment naïve subject or to a subject who has had one or more prior therapies. Accordingly, it is possible that a subject may be considered to be “pre-treatment” even though the subject received some form of treatment or therapy at some time prior to the present treatment or therapy. Furthermore, “pre-treatment” can refer to any moment up until the moment that a treatment is administered. For example, “pre-treatment” can include weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds before administration of the treatment. In one particular embodiment, a “pre-treatment” sample can be collected from a subject immediately before administration of a first dose of the treatment or therapy. “Pre-treatment” and “baseline” are used interchangeably herein.

“On-treatment,” as used herein, refers to the status of a subject who has received one or more initial dose of a particular therapy, e.g., an anti-cancer agent, e.g., an immunotherapy, e.g., an anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or an anti-CSF1R Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof. “On-treatment” can refer to a subject who has only received a single dose or a subject who has received multiple doses of the anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or the anti-CSF1R Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof. In some aspects, “on-treatment” refers to a subject who is receiving an ongoing regimen of a particular therapy, e.g., the subject is being treated with an anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or an anti-CSF1R Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof. In certain embodiments, the “on-treatment” sample can be collected from a subject on about day 1, on about day 2, on about day 3, on about day 4, on about day 5, on about day 6, on about day 7, on about day 8, on about day 9, on about day 10, on about day 11, on about day 12, on about day 13, on about day 14, on about day 15, on about day 16, on about day 17, on about day 18, on about day 19, on about day 20, on about day 21, or any combination thereof, wherein the treatment is administered on day 1. In certain embodiments, the treatment is administration of an anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or an anti-PD-L1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof. In some embodiments, the anti-PD-1 Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof or the anti-CSF1R Ab or an antigen binding portion thereof is administered on day 1 of every 21-day cycle. In certain embodiments, the on-treatment sample is collected from the subject on about day 1, on about day 2, on about day 3, on about day 4, on about day 5, on about day 6, on about day 7, on about day 8, on about day 9, on about day 10, on about day 11, on about day 12, on about day 13, on about day 14, on about day 15, on about day 16, on about day 17, on about day 18, on about day 19, on about day 20, or on about day 21 of the 21 day cycle, or any combination thereof. In one particular embodiment, the on-treatment sample is collected on day 1 of cycle 1, day 1 of cycle 2, day 8 of cycle 2, on day 1 of cycle 4, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the on-treatment sample is collect on day 8 of cycle 2.

Pre-treatment and on-treatment samples may be collected in the form of a tumor biopsy (e.g., a core needle biopsy), partial or complete surgical resection, blood draw, or any other method known in the art. In certain embodiments, tumor sites selected for biopsy have not received previous radiation therapy.

The term “immunotherapy” refers to the treatment of a subject afflicted with, or at risk of contracting or suffering a recurrence of, a disease by a method comprising inducing, enhancing, suppressing or otherwise modifying an immune response.

The term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a drug effective to treat a disease or disorder in a subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic result. A therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CSF1R antibody and/or a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor of the invention may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the antibody or antibodies to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount encompasses an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the antibody or antibodies are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. In some embodiments, the expression “effective amount” refers to an amount of the antibody that is effective for treating the cancer. A “therapeutic amount” refers to a dosage of a drug that has been approved for use by a regulatory agency. A “subtherapeutic amount” as used herein refers to a dosage of a drug or therapeutic agent that is significantly lower than the approved dosage. The ability of a therapeutic agent to promote disease regression can be evaluated using a variety of methods known to the skilled practitioner, such as in human subjects during clinical trials, in animal model systems predictive of efficacy in humans, or by assaying the activity of the agent in in vitro assays.

A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, but not necessarily, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount would be less than the therapeutically effective amount.

A subject may be characterized as having one or more “prior therapies” or as being “treatment naïve.” As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, a “prior therapy” refers to any previous systemic therapy for a cancer. A “treatment naïve” subject is one that has never received any previous systemic therapy in the metastatic or adjuvant setting.

As used herein, the term “first dose” includes a single dose, but can be more than one dose, i.e., multiple doses (at least two doses, at least three doses, or more) that are administered prior to the administration of “a second dose” if the multiple doses are administered to determine the susceptibility of the patient for an anti-PD-1 Ab or anti-CSF1R Ab therapy, i.e., differential expression of certain proteins (e.g., PD-L1). The term “first dose” can also be a therapeutic dose, a dose higher than a therapeutic dose, or a subtherapeutic dose.

The term “second dose” as used herein can also include a single dose or multiple doses that are administered after the first dose (single dose or multiple doses). The second dose can be a therapeutic dose.

The use of the term “fixed dose” with regard to a composition or method of the invention means that two or more different antibodies in a single composition are present in the composition in particular (fixed) ratios with each other. In some embodiments, the fixed dose is based on the weight (e.g., mg) of the antibodies. In certain embodiments, the fixed dose is based on the concentration (e.g., mg/ml) of the antibodies. In some embodiments, the ratio is at least about 1:1, about 1:2, about 1:3, about 1:4, about 1:5, about 1:6, about 1:7, about 1:8, about 1:9, about 1:10, about 1:15, about 1:20, about 1:30, about 1:40, about 1:50, about 1:60, about 1:70, about 1:80, about 1:90, about 1:100, about 1:120, about 1:140, about 1:160, about 1:180, about 1:200, about 200:1, about 180:1, about 160:1, about 140:1, about 120:1, about 100:1, about 90:1, about 80:1, about 70:1, about 60:1, about 50:1, about 40:1, about 30:1, about 20:1, about 15:1, about 10:1, about 9:1, about 8:1, about 7:1, about 6:1, about 5:1, about 4:1, about 3:1, or about 2:1 mg first antibody to mg second antibody. For example, the 3:1 ratio of a first antibody and a second antibody can mean that a vial can contain about 240 mg of the first antibody and 80 mg of the second antibody or about 3 mg/ml of the first antibody and 1 mg/ml of the second antibody.

The use of the term “flat dose” with regard to the composition of the invention means a dose that is administered to a patient without regard for the weight or body surface area (BSA) of the patient. The flat dose is, therefore, not provided as a mg/kg dose, but rather as an absolute amount of the agent (e.g., the anti-CSF1R antibody and/or PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor). For example, a 60 kg person and a 100 kg person would receive the same dose of the composition (e.g., 240 mg of an anti-PD-1 antibody and 80 mg of an anti-CSF1R antibody in a single fixed dosing formulation vial containing both 240 mg of an anti-PD-1 antibody and 80 mg of an anti-CSF1R antibody (or two fixed dosing formulation vials containing 120 mg of an anti-PD-1 antibody and 40 mg of an anti-CSF1R antibody, etc.)).

The term “weight based dose” as referred to herein means that a dose that is administered to a patient is calculated based on the weight of the patient. For example, when a patient with 60 kg body weight requires 3 mg/kg of an anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with 1 mg/kg of an anti-CSF1R antibody, one can draw the appropriate amounts of the anti-PD-1 antibody (i.e., 180 mg) and the anti-CSF1R antibody (i.e., 60 mg) at once from a 3:1 ratio fixed dosing formulation of an anti-PD1 antibody and an anti-CSF1R antibody.

Administration “in combination with” one or more further therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and consecutive (sequential) administration in any order.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a non-toxic solid, semisolid, or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material, formulation auxiliary, or carrier conventional in the art for use with a therapeutic agent that together comprise a “pharmaceutical composition” for administration to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and is compatible with other ingredients of the formulation. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is appropriate for the formulation employed. For example, if the therapeutic agent is to be administered orally, the carrier may be a gel capsule. If the therapeutic agent is to be administered subcutaneously, the carrier ideally is not irritable to the skin and does not cause injection site reaction.

The term “refractory” as applied to a treatment means a lack of partial or complete clinical response to that treatment. For example, patients may be considered refractory to a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor if they do not show at least a partial response after receiving at least 2 doses of the inhibitor.

Patients classified as “stage III” or “stage IIIB” or “stage IV” or “grade IV” and the like are so classified based upon the classification systems for their particular disease. For example, NSCLC patients may be classified, for example, as “stage IIIB” or “stage IV” according to version 7 of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging manual in Thoracic oncology. Melanoma patients may be classed as “stage III” or “IV” as per the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system. Malignant glioma patients may be classified as “grade IV” based upon the World Health Organization standards.

Exemplary Humanized Antibodies

In some embodiments, humanized antibodies that bind CSF1R are provided. Humanized antibodies are useful as therapeutic molecules because humanized antibodies reduce or eliminate the human immune response to non-human antibodies (such as the human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response), which can result in an immune response to an antibody therapeutic, and decreased effectiveness of the therapeutic.

Nonlimiting exemplary humanized antibodies include huAb1 through huAb16, described herein. Nonlimiting exemplary humanized antibodies also include antibodies comprising a heavy chain variable region of an antibody selected from huAb1 to huAb16 and/or a light chain variable region of an antibody selected from huAb1 to huAb16.

As used herein, whether a particular polypeptide is, for example, at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence can be determined using, e.g., a computer program. When determining whether a particular sequence is, for example, 95% identical to a reference sequence, the percentage of identity is calculated over the full length of the reference amino acid sequence.

In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one of the CDRs discussed herein. That is, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one CDR selected from a heavy chain CDR1 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR2 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR3 discussed herein, a light chain CDR1 discussed herein, a light chain CDR2 discussed herein, and a light chain CDR3 discussed herein. Further, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one mutated CDR based on a CDR discussed herein, wherein the mutated CDR comprises 1, 2, 3, or 4 amino acid substitutions relative to the CDR discussed herein. In some embodiments, one or more of the amino acid substitutions are conservative amino acid substitutions. One skilled in the art can select one or more suitable conservative amino acid substitutions for a particular CDR sequence, wherein the suitable conservative amino acid substitutions are not predicted to significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody comprising the mutated CDR.

Exemplary humanized anti-CSF1R antibodies also include antibodies that compete for binding to CSF1R with an antibody described herein. Thus, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody is provided that competes for binding to CSF1R with an antibody selected from Fabs 0301, 0302, and 0311; and bivalent (i.e., having two heavy chains and two light chains) antibody versions of those Fabs.

Exemplary Humanized Antibody Constant Regions

In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises one or more human constant regions. In some embodiments, the human heavy chain constant region is of an isotype selected from IgA, IgG, and IgD. In some embodiments, the human light chain constant region is of an isotype selected from κ and λ. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region. In some such embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises an S241P mutation in the human IgG4 constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 constant region and a human κ light chain.

The choice of heavy chain constant region can determine whether or not an antibody will have effector function in vivo. Such effector function, in some embodiments, includes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and can result in killing of the cell to which the antibody is bound. In some methods of treatment, including methods of treating some cancers, cell killing may be desirable, for example, when the antibody binds to a cell that supports the maintenance or growth of the tumor. Exemplary cells that may support the maintenance or growth of a tumor include, but are not limited to, tumor cells themselves, cells that aid in the recruitment of vasculature to the tumor, and cells that provide ligands, growth factors, or counter-receptors that support or promote tumor growth or tumor survival. In some embodiments, when effector function is desirable, an anti-CSF1R antibody comprising a human IgG1 heavy chain or a human IgG3 heavy chain is selected.

An antibody may be humanized by any method. Nonlimiting exemplary methods of humanization include methods described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 5,693,761; 5,693,762; 6,180,370; Jones et al., Nature 321: 522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332: 323-27 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239: 1534-36 (1988); and U.S. Publication No. US 2009/0136500.

As noted above, a humanized antibody is an antibody in which at least one amino acid in a framework region of a non-human variable region has been replaced with the amino acid from the corresponding location in a human framework region. In some embodiments, at least two, at least three, at least four, at least five, at least six, at least seven, at least eight, at least nine, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 15, or at least 20 amino acids in the framework regions of a non-human variable region are replaced with an amino acid from one or more corresponding locations in one or more human framework regions.

In some embodiments, some of the corresponding human amino acids used for substitution are from the framework regions of different human immunoglobulin genes. That is, in some such embodiments, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a first human antibody or encoded by a first human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a second human antibody or encoded by a second human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a third human antibody or encoded by a third human immunoglobulin gene, etc. Further, in some embodiments, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution in a single framework region, for example, FR2, need not be from the same human framework. In some embodiments, however, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution are from the same human antibody or encoded by the same human immunoglobulin gene.

In some embodiments, an antibody is humanized by replacing one or more entire framework regions with corresponding human framework regions. In some embodiments, a human framework region is selected that has the highest level of homology to the non-human framework region being replaced. In some embodiments, such a humanized antibody is a CDR-grafted antibody.

In some embodiments, following CDR-grafting, one or more framework amino acids are changed back to the corresponding amino acid in a mouse framework region. Such “back mutations” are made, in some embodiments, to retain one or more mouse framework amino acids that appear to contribute to the structure of one or more of the CDRs and/or that may be involved in antigen contacts and/or appear to be involved in the overall structural integrity of the antibody. In some embodiments, ten or fewer, nine or fewer, eight or fewer, seven or fewer, six or fewer, five or fewer, four or fewer, three or fewer, two or fewer, one, or zero back mutations are made to the framework regions of an antibody following CDR grafting.

In some embodiments, a humanized antibody also comprises a human heavy chain constant region and/or a human light chain constant region.

Exemplary Chimeric Antibodies

In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody is a chimeric antibody. In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one non-human variable region and at least one human constant region. In some such embodiments, all of the variable regions of an anti-CSF1R antibody are non-human variable regions, and all of the constant regions of an anti-CSF1R antibody are human constant regions. In some embodiments, one or more variable regions of a chimeric antibody are mouse variable regions. The human constant region of a chimeric antibody need not be of the same isotype as the non-human constant region, if any, it replaces. Chimeric antibodies are discussed, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81: 6851-55 (1984).

One skilled in the art can select one or more suitable conservative amino acid substitutions for a particular CDR sequence, wherein the suitable conservative amino acid substitutions are not predicted to significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody comprising the mutated CDR.

In one embodiment, the anti-PD-1 Ab is nivolumab. Nivolumab (also known as “Opdivo©”; formerly designated 5C4, BMS-936558, MDX-1106, or ONO-4538) is a fully human IgG4 (S228P) PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor Ab that selectively prevents interaction with PD-1 ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2), thereby blocking the down-regulation of antitumor T-cell functions (U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,449; Wang et al., 2014 Cancer Immunol Res. 2(9):846-56).

In another embodiment, the anti-PD-1 Ab is pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab (also known as “Keytruda©”, lambrolizumab, and MK-3475) is a humanized monoclonal IgG4 antibody directed against human cell surface receptor PD-1 (programmed death-1 or programmed cell death-1). Pembrolizumab is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 8,900,587; see also http://www.cancer.gov/drugdictionary?cdrid=695789 (last accessed: Dec. 14, 2014). Pembrolizumab has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory melanoma.

In other embodiments, the anti-PD-1 Ab is MEDI0608 (formerly AMP-514), which is a monoclonal antibody against the PD-1 receptor. MEDI0608 is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 8,609,089, B2 or in http://www.cancer.gov/drugdictionary?cdrid=756047 (last accessed Dec. 14, 2014).

Anti-PD-1 Abs usable in the disclosed methods also include isolated Abs that bind specifically to human PD-1 and cross-compete for binding to human PD-1 with nivolumab (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 8,008,449; WO 2013/173223). The ability of Abs to cross-compete for binding to an antigen indicates that these Abs bind to the same epitope region of the antigen and sterically hinder the binding of other cross-competing Abs to that particular epitope region. These cross-competing Abs are expected to have functional properties very similar to those of nivolumab by virtue of their binding to the same epitope region of PD-1. Cross-competing Abs can be readily identified based on their ability to cross-compete with nivolumab in standard PD-1 binding assays such as Biacore analysis, ELISA assays or flow cytometry (see, e.g., WO 2013/173223).

In certain embodiments, the Abs that cross-compete for binding to human PD-1 with, or bind to the same epitope region of human PD-1 as, nivolumab are mAbs. For administration to human subjects, these cross-competing Abs can be chimeric Abs, or can be humanized or human Abs. Such chimeric, humanized or human mAbs can be prepared and isolated by methods well known in the art.

Anti-PD-1 Abs usable in the methods of the disclosed invention also include antigen-binding portions of the above Abs. It has been amply demonstrated that the antigen-binding function of an Ab can be performed by fragments of a full-length Ab. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term “antigen-binding portion” of an Ab include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the V_(L), V_(H), C_(L) and C_(H1) domains; (ii) a F(ab′)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the V_(H) and C_(H1) domains; and (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the V_(L) and V_(H) domains of a single arm of an Ab.

A nonlimiting exemplary fusion protein that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is AMP-224 (Amplimmune, GlaxoSmithKline).

A nonlimiting exemplary peptide that is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is AUR-012.

Exemplary Antibody Conjugates

In some embodiments, an antibody is conjugated to a label and/or a cytotoxic agent. As used herein, a label is a moiety that facilitates detection of the antibody and/or facilitates detection of a molecule to which the antibody binds. Nonlimiting exemplary labels include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, fluorescent groups, enzymatic groups, chemiluminescent groups, biotin, epitope tags, metal-binding tags, etc. One skilled in the art can select a suitable label according to the intended application.

As used herein, a cytotoxic agent is a moiety that reduces the proliferative capacity of one or more cells. A cell has reduced proliferative capacity when the cell becomes less able to proliferate, for example, because the cell undergoes apoptosis or otherwise dies, the cell fails to proceed through the cell cycle and/or fails to divide, the cell differentiates, etc. Nonlimiting exemplary cytotoxic agents include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, toxins, and chemotherapeutic agents. One skilled in the art can select a suitable cytotoxic according to the intended application.

In some embodiments, a label and/or a cytotoxic agent is conjugated to an antibody using chemical methods in vitro. Nonlimiting exemplary chemical methods of conjugation are known in the art, and include services, methods and/or reagents commercially available from, e.g., Thermo Scientific Life Science Research Produces (formerly Pierce; Rockford, Ill.), Prozyme (Hayward, Calif.), SACRI Antibody Services (Calgary, Canada), AbD Serotec (Raleigh, N.C.), etc. In some embodiments, when a label and/or cytotoxic agent is a polypeptide, the label and/or cytotoxic agent can be expressed from the same expression vector with at least one antibody chain to produce a polypeptide comprising the label and/or cytotoxic agent fused to an antibody chain. One skilled in the art can select a suitable method for conjugating a label and/or cytotoxic agent to an antibody according to the intended application.

Exemplary Leader Sequences

In order for some secreted proteins to express and secrete in large quantities, a leader sequence from a heterologous protein may be desirable. In some embodiments, a leader sequence is selected from SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 4, which are light chain and heavy chain leader sequences, respectively. In some embodiments, employing heterologous leader sequences may be advantageous in that a resulting mature polypeptide may remain unaltered as the leader sequence is removed in the ER during the secretion process. The addition of a heterologous leader sequence may be required to express and secrete some proteins.

Certain exemplary leader sequence sequences are described, e.g., in the online Leader sequence Database maintained by the Department of Biochemistry, National University of Singapore. See Choo et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 6: 249 (2005); and PCT Publication No. WO 2006/081430.

In some embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule comprises a polynucleotide that encodes a heavy chain or a light chain of an antibody. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule comprises both a polynucleotide that encodes a heavy chain and a polynucleotide that encodes a light chain, of an antibody. In some embodiments, a first nucleic acid molecule comprises a first polynucleotide that encodes a heavy chain and a second nucleic acid molecule comprises a second polynucleotide that encodes a light chain.

In some such embodiments, the heavy chain and the light chain are expressed from one nucleic acid molecule, or from two separate nucleic acid molecules, as two separate polypeptides. In some embodiments, such as when an antibody is an scFv, a single polynucleotide encodes a single polypeptide comprising both a heavy chain and a light chain linked together.

In some embodiments, a polynucleotide encoding a heavy chain or light chain of an antibody comprises a nucleotide sequence that encodes a leader sequence, which, when translated, is located at the N terminus of the heavy chain or light chain. As discussed above, the leader sequence may be the native heavy or light chain leader sequence, or may be another heterologous leader sequence.

Nucleic acid molecules may be constructed using recombinant DNA techniques conventional in the art. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid molecule is an expression vector that is suitable for expression in a selected host cell.

Antibody Expression and Production

Vectors

Vectors comprising polynucleotides that encode antibody heavy chains and/or light chains are provided. Vectors comprising polynucleotides that encode antibody heavy chains and/or light chains are also provided. Such vectors include, but are not limited to, DNA vectors, phage vectors, viral vectors, retroviral vectors, etc. In some embodiments, a vector comprises a first polynucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain and a second polynucleotide sequence encoding a light chain. In some embodiments, the heavy chain and light chain are expressed from the vector as two separate polypeptides. In some embodiments, the heavy chain and light chain are expressed as part of a single polypeptide, such as, for example, when the antibody is an scFv.

In some embodiments, a first vector comprises a polynucleotide that encodes a heavy chain and a second vector comprises a polynucleotide that encodes a light chain. In some embodiments, the first vector and second vector are transfected into host cells in similar amounts (such as similar molar amounts or similar mass amounts). In some embodiments, a mole- or mass-ratio of between 5:1 and 1:5 of the first vector and the second vector is transfected into host cells. In some embodiments, a mass ratio of between 1:1 and 1:5 for the vector encoding the heavy chain and the vector encoding the light chain is used. In some embodiments, a mass ratio of 1:2 for the vector encoding the heavy chain and the vector encoding the light chain is used.

In some embodiments, a vector is selected that is optimized for expression of polypeptides in CHO or CHO-derived cells, or in NSO cells. Exemplary such vectors are described, e.g., in Running Deer et al., Biotechnol. Prog. 20:880-889 (2004).

In some embodiments, a vector is chosen for in vivo expression of antibody heavy chains and/or antibody light chains in animals, including humans. In some such embodiments, expression of the polypeptide is under the control of a promoter that functions in a tissue-specific manner. For example, liver-specific promoters are described, e.g., in PCT Publication No. WO 2006/076288.

Host Cells

In various embodiments, antibody heavy chains and/or light chains may be expressed in prokaryotic cells, such as bacterial cells; or in eukaryotic cells, such as fungal cells (such as yeast), plant cells, insect cells, and mammalian cells. Such expression may be carried out, for example, according to procedures known in the art. Exemplary eukaryotic cells that may be used to express polypeptides include, but are not limited to, COS cells, including COS 7 cells; 293 cells, including 293-6E cells; CHO cells, including CHO-S and DG44 cells; PER.C6® cells (Crucell); and NSO cells. In some embodiments, antibody heavy chains and/or light chains may be expressed in yeast. See, e.g., U.S. Publication No. US 2006/0270045 A1. In some embodiments, a particular eukaryotic host cell is selected based on its ability to make desired post-translational modifications to the antibody heavy chains and/or light chains. For example, in some embodiments, CHO cells produce polypeptides that have a higher level of sialylation than the same polypeptide produced in 293 cells.

Introduction of one or more nucleic acids into a desired host cell may be accomplished by any method, including but not limited to, calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-dextran mediated transfection, cationic lipid-mediated transfection, electroporation, transduction, infection, etc. Nonlimiting exemplary methods are described, e.g., in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 3^(rd) ed. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (2001). Nucleic acids may be transiently or stably transfected in the desired host cells, according to any suitable method.

In some embodiments, one or more polypeptides may be produced in vivo in an animal that has been engineered or transfected with one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides, according to any suitable method.

Purification of Antibodies

Antibodies may be purified by any suitable method. Such methods include, but are not limited to, the use of affinity matrices or hydrophobic interaction chromatography. Suitable affinity ligands include the antigen and ligands that bind antibody constant regions.

For example, a Protein A, Protein G, Protein A/G, or an antibody affinity column may be used to bind the constant region and to purify an antibody. Hydrophobic interactive chromatography, for example, a butyl or phenyl column, may also suitable for purifying some polypeptides. Many methods of purifying polypeptides are known in the art.

Cell-free Production of Antibodies

In some embodiments, an antibody is produced in a cell-free system. Nonlimiting exemplary cell-free systems are described, e.g., in Sitaraman et al., Methods Mol. Biol. 498: 229-44 (2009); Spirin, Trends Biotechnol. 22: 538-45 (2004); Endo et al., Biotechnol. Adv. 21: 695-713 (2003).

In some embodiments, if the patient's CSF1R expression shows a high correlation with the level of CD8+ T cells, T cells or PD-1/PD-L1 expression, the patient is selected for combination therapy. The correlation of the expressions is considered “high” if it is at or above the median level found in individuals with cancer.

Levels of TAMs, CSF1R expression, CD8+ T cells, regulatory T cells, and/or PD-1 expression may be measured by methods in the art. Nonexemplary methods include immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), protein arrays, and gene expression assays, such as RNA sequencing, gene arrays, and quantitative PCR. In some embodiments, one or more markers selected from CSF1R, CD68, CD163, CD8, FoxP3, PD-1, and PD-L1 may be detected by IHC, FACS, or gene expression assay on tumor sections, or dissociated cells from tumor sections.

In some embodiments of the methods described herein, the subject is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder. A subject who is a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder, may have previously responded to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, but may have become less responsive to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, or the subject may have never responded to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Inadequate response to a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor means that aspects of the condition that would be expected to improve following a standard dose of the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor do not improve, and/or improvement only occurs if greater than a standard dose is administered. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor inadequate responder has experienced, or is experiencing, an inadequate response to the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor after receiving a standard dose for at least two weeks, at least three weeks, at least four weeks, at least six weeks, or at least twelve weeks.

In some embodiments, a composition of the invention comprises heparin and/or a proteoglycan.

Pharmaceutical compositions are administered in an amount effective for treatment or prophylaxis of the specific indication. The therapeutically effective amount is typically dependent on the weight of the subject being treated, his or her physical or health condition, the extensiveness of the condition to be treated, or the age of the subject being treated. In general, antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 10 g/kg body weight to about 100 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 50 μg/kg body weight to about 5 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 10 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 0.5 mg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, such as an antibody or fusion protein, is administered at a dose of 1 to 4 mg/kg, and an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered at a dose of 0.5 to 10 mg/kg. In some embodiments, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is administered at a dose of 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg, and an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered at a dose of about 0.3 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.5 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.5 to about 5 mg/kg, or about 1 to about 5 mg/kg body weight, such as at about 0.3, about 0.5, about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5, or about 10 mg/kg.

In certain embodiments, the dose of a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor or anti-CSF1R antibody is a fixed dose in a pharmaceutical composition. In other embodiments, the method of the present invention can be used with a flat dose (a dose given to a patient irrespective of the body weight of the patient). For example, a flat dose of a nivolumab can be about 240 mg. For example, a flat dose of pembrolizumab can be about 200 mg.

In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R Ab, when combined with the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor, can be dosed within the range of about 0.3 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.5 to about 10 mg/kg, about 0.5 to about 5 mg/kg, or about 1 to about 5 mg/kg body weight, such as at about 0.3, about 0.5, about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5, or about 10 mg/kg, administered about every two or three weeks. In other embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered on a different dosage schedule from the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered about every week, about every two weeks, about every three weeks, about every 4 weeks, about every five weeks, about every six weeks, about every seven weeks, about every eight weeks, about every nine weeks, about every ten weeks, about every eleven weeks, about every twelve weeks or about every fifteen weeks. A dosage of an anti-CSF1R antibody or PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor that is significantly lower than the approved therapeutic dose may be regarded as subtherapeutic. For example a dose of, for instance, about 0.3 mg/kg or less about every 3 or 4 weeks, may be regarded as a subtherapeutic dosage in relation to a therapeutic dosage of about 3.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks. In certain embodiments, the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is administered at a dosage of about 0.1, about 0.3, about 0.5, about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, or about 5 mg/kg in combination with an anti-CSF1R antibody administered at a dosage of about 0.1, about 0.3, about 0.5, about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5, or about 10 mg/kg, once about every 2 weeks, once about every 3 weeks, or once about every 4 weeks.

In certain embodiments, the combination of an PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and an anti-CSF1R Ab is administered intravenously to the subject in an induction phase about every 2 or 3 weeks for 1, 2, 3 or 4 administrations. In certain embodiments, the combination of nivolumab and anti-CSF1R Ab is administered intravenously in the induction phase about every 3 weeks for about 4 administrations. The induction phase is followed by a maintenance phase during which only the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is administered to the subject at a dosage of about 0.1, about 0.3, about 0.5, about 1, about 2, about 3, about 4, about 5 or about 10 mg/kg every two or three weeks for as long as the treatment proves efficacious or until unmanageable toxicity or disease progression occurs. In certain embodiments, nivolumab is administered during the maintenance phase at a dose of about 3 mg/kg body about every 2 weeks.

In certain embodiments, the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and the anti-CSF1R antibody are formulated as a single composition, wherein the dose of the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and the dose of the anti-CSF1R antibody are combined at a ratio of, for example, 1:50, 1:40, 1:30, 1:20, 1:10. 1:5, 1:3, 1:1, 3:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, 30:1, 40:1, or 50:1. In other embodiments, the dose of the anti-CSF1R antibody is a fixed dose. In certain embodiments, the dose of the anti-CSF1R antibody or PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is a flat dose, which is given to a patient irrespective of the body weight. In a specific embodiment, the flat dose of the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is about 80 mg.

For combination with other anti-cancer agents, these agents are administered at their approved dosages. Treatment is continued as long as clinical benefit is observed or until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurs. Nevertheless, in certain embodiments, the dosages of these anti-cancer agents administered are significantly lower than the approved dosage, i.e., a subtherapeutic dosage, of the agent is administered in combination with the anti-CSF1R antibody and the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. The anti-CSF1R antibody and the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor can be administered at the dosage that has been shown to produce the highest efficacy as monotherapy in clinical trials, e.g., for nivolumab, about 3 mg/kg of nivolumab administered once about every three weeks (Topalian et al., 2012a; Topalian et al., 2012), or at a significantly lower dose, i.e., at a subtherapeutic dose.

Dosage and frequency vary depending on the half-life of the Ab in the subject. In general, human Abs show the longest half-life, followed by humanized Abs, chimeric Abs, and nonhuman Abs. The dosage and frequency of administration can vary depending on whether the treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. In prophylactic applications, a relatively low dosage is typically administered at relatively infrequent intervals over a long period of time. Some patients continue to receive treatment for the rest of their lives. In therapeutic applications, a relatively high dosage at relatively short intervals is sometimes required until progression of the disease is reduced or terminated, or until the patient shows partial or complete amelioration of symptoms of disease. Thereafter, the patient can be administered a prophylactic regime.

Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being unduly toxic to the patient. The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of pharmacokinetic factors including the activity of the particular compositions of the present invention employed, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compositions employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts. A composition of the present invention can be administered via one or more routes of administration using one or more of a variety of methods well known in the art. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the route and/or mode of administration will vary depending upon the desired results. The antibody compositions may be administered as needed to subjects. Determination of the frequency of administration may be made by persons skilled in the art, such as an attending physician based on considerations of the condition being treated, age of the subject being treated, severity of the condition being treated, general state of health of the subject being treated and the like. In some embodiments, an effective dose of an antibody is administered to a subject one or more times. In various embodiments, an effective dose of an antibody is administered to the subject once a month, less than once a month, such as, for example, every two months or every three months. In other embodiments, an effective dose of an antibody is administered more than once a month, such as, for example, every three weeks, every two weeks or every week. In some embodiments, an effective dose of an antibody is administered once per 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 weeks. In some embodiments, an effective dose of an antibody is administered twice or three times per week. An effective dose of an antibody is administered to the subject at least once. In some embodiments, the effective dose of an antibody may be administered multiple times, including for periods of at least a month, at least six months, or at least a year.

Combination Therapy

Antibodies may be administered alone or with other modes of treatment. They may be provided before, substantially contemporaneous with, or after other modes of treatment, for example, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or the administration of a biologic, such as another therapeutic antibody. In some embodiments, the cancer has recurred or progressed following a therapy selected from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, or a combination thereof.

For treatment of cancer, as discussed herein, the antibodies may be administered in conjunction with one or more additional anti-cancer agents, such as the chemotherapeutic agent, growth inhibitory agent, anti-angiogenesis agent and/or anti-neoplastic composition. Nonlimiting examples of chemotherapeutic agent, growth inhibitory agent, anti-angiogenesis agent, anti-cancer agent and anti-neoplastic composition that can be used in combination with the antibodies of the present invention are provided herein under “Definitions.”

The 16 humanized antibodies were tested for binding to human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse CSF1R ECD, as described previously. See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249. The antibodies were found to bind to both human and cynomolgus monkey CSF1R ECD, but not to mouse CSF1R ECD. The humanized antibodies were also found to block binding of CSF1 and IL-34 to both human and cynomolgus CSF1R and to inhibit CSF1-induced and IL-34-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R expressed in CHO cells. See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249.

The k_(a), k_(d), and K_(D) for binding to human CSF1R ECD were previously determined and are shown in Table 4. See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249.

Example 2: Correlation of CSF1R Expression and T Cell Signature in Tumors

To determine the correlation between cancer T cell signatures and CSF1R expression, mRNA expression data from the The Cancer Genome Atlas was used. The Cancer Genome Atlas is a publicly accessible database resulting from a joint effort of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). See cancergenome.nih.gov. mRNA levels are determined using the Illumina RNASeq platform. FOXP3, CTLA-4, CD274, PDCD1, CD8A and GZMB correlations are calculated for all genes in the RNASeq data and for each cancer type. The correlations are then ranked. There are approximately 20486 genes in the RNASeq data, so for each gene, a correlation rank is assigned to every other gene. As an example, for FOXP3 in colon cancer, the correlation ranks range from 1 to 20486. CSF1R has a correlation rank of 38, suggesting that it highly correlated to FOXP3 expression. The high correlation of FOXP3 and CSF1R is consistent with the hypothesis that a subset of colon cancers have tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) expressing CSF1R and FOXP3-expressing Treg cells. Extending this analysis to many cancer types and the gene markers can be used to produce a heat map showing the cancer tissues that have CSF1R expression correlated with Treg cells, CD8+ T-cells, and PD-L1 expression. See FIG. 3 .

Example 3: Effect of Anti-CSF1R Antibody and an Anti-PD-1 Antibody on Mouse Colorectal Tumors In Vivo

Seven week old female C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Harlan Laboratories (Livermore, Calif.) and were acclimated for six days before the start of the study. The murine colorectal carcinoma cell line MC38 was implanted subcutaneously over the right flank of the mice at 0.5×10⁶ cells/100 l/mouse. Prior to inoculation, the cells were cultured for three passages in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 2 mM L-Glutamine. Cells were grown at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. Upon reaching 80-85% confluence, cells were harvested and resuspended in cold serum-free RPMI 1640 at 5×10⁶ cells per milliliter.

Mice were monitored twice weekly following cell implantation for tumor growth. For tumor measurements, the length and width of each tumor was measured using calipers and volume was calculated according to the formula: Tumor volume (mm³)=(width (mm)×length (mm)) 2/2. On Day 7, all tumors were measured, and mice were randomly assigned to treatment groups. The mean tumor volume for all animals enrolled into treatment groups was 58 mm³. Dosing groups were as follows: 1) Mouse IgG1 (Bio X Cell, West Lebanon, N.H., USA; Clone MOPC-21) plus Rat IgG2a (Bio X Cell, Clone 2A3), 2) anti-CSF1R (Bio X Cell, Clone AFS98) plus Rat IgG2a, 3) anti-PD-1 (Bio X Cell, Clone RMP1-14) plus Mouse IgG1, or 4) anti-CSF1R plus anti-PD-1. Tumors continued to be measured at least twice per week until tumor volume exceeded 10% of animal weight, or approximately 2000 mm³.

The change in tumor size is shown by graphing mean tumor volume relative to the day upon which animals were inoculated with MC38 cells. Treatment with either anti-CSF1R or anti-PD-1 significantly reduced tumor growth compared to IgG control (P<0.05). The combination of anti-CSF1R and anti-PD-1 resulted in significantly reduced tumor growth compared to either anti-CSF1R or anti-PD-1 alone (P<0.05). P-values were calculated using unpaired, two-tailed t-test analyses of the calculated tumor volumes on day 11 after initiation of treatment. (See FIGS. 4A and 4B.)

Example 4: Effect of Anti-CSF1R Antibody and an Anti-PD-1 Antibody on Mouse Pancreatic Tumors In Vivo

Eight week old female FVB mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratories and were acclimated for two weeks before the start of the study. A murine pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line derived from Kras^(G12D)/Ink4a^(−/−) transgenic mice was surgically implanted into the pancreas of the mice at 0.2×10⁶ cells/50 l/mouse. Prior to inoculation, the cells were cultured for no more than three passages in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Cells were grown at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. Upon reaching 80-85% confluence, cells were harvested and resuspended in cold PBS with Matrigel at 4×10⁶ cells per milliliter.

Mice were monitored twice weekly following cell implantation for tumor growth. Mice were gently palpated at least twice per week to assess the relative size of the pancreatic tumors. On Day 12, all tumors were assessed, and mice were randomly assigned to treatment groups. Dosing groups were as follows: 1) Mouse IgG1 (Bio X Cell; Clone MOPC-21) plus vehicle control, 2) anti-CSF1R antibody (murine antibody with similar affinity for murine CSF1R as that of huAB1 for human CSF1R) plus vehicle, 3) anti-CSF1R plus gemcitabine (GEM), 4) anti-PD-1 antibody (Bio X Cell; Clone RMP1-14) plus GEM, or 5) anti-CSF1R plus anti-PD-1 and GEM. Anti-CSF1R-antibody administration began on Day 12, with anti-PD-1 and GEM treatment beginning on Day 17. Tumors continued to be assessed at least twice per week for 20 days from the start of anti-CSF1R antibody treatment.

The change in tumor size is shown by graphing mean tumor weight for all groups at the end of the study. Treatment with either anti-CSF1R antibody or anti-PD-1 antibody reduced tumor growth compared to the IgG control. The combination of anti-CSF1R and anti-PD-1 resulted in significantly reduced tumor growth compared to either anti-CSF1R or anti-PD-1 alone (P<0.05). P-values were calculated using unpaired, two-tailed t-test analyses of the calculated tumor volumes on day 32. (See FIG. 5 .)

Example 5: Anti-CSF1R Antibody Treatment Increases the Frequency of Cytotoxic T Cells and Expression of PD-L1 in Multiple Mouse Tumor Models

Seven week old female C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Hollister, Calif.) and were acclimated for at least three days before the start of the studies. The murine colorectal carcinoma cell lines MC38 and CT26 were implanted subcutaneously over the right flank of immunocompetent mice. MC38 was inoculated at 0.5×10⁶ cells/100 l/mouse, and CT26 was implanted at 1.0×10⁶/200 μL/mouse. Prior to inoculation, the cells were cultured for three passages in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 2 mM L-Glutamine. Cells were grown at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. Upon reaching 80-85% confluence, cells were harvested and resuspended at 5×10⁶ cells per milliliter in cold serum-free RPMI 1640 (MC38) or RPMI/Matrigel (CT26).

Mice were monitored twice weekly following cell implantation for tumor growth. For tumor measurements, the length and width of each tumor was measured using calipers and volume was calculated according to the formula: Tumor volume (mm³)=(width (mm)×length (mm)) 2/2. Beginning on Day 5 (CT26) or Day 7 (MC38), all tumors were measured, and mice were randomly assigned to treatment groups. Mice were administered either Mouse IgG1 (Clone MOPC-21) or anti-CSF1R antibody (cmFPA008). Studies were concluded 21-24 days after inoculation, and tumors were excised and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen.

To assess gene expression, QuantiGene Plex assays were utilized. Tumor tissue from 7-10 mice per treatment group were lysed, and relative expression of multiple genes were assessed, including PTPRC (CD45), CD8a, CD4, GZMA, CSF1R, and CD274 (PD-L1). Gene expression values were normalized against PPIB, GUSB, and HPRT, which were utilized as controls. Cd8a expression was further normalized against CD45 to assess relative CD8 abundance or CD4 to examine the ratio of CD8 to CD4 cells. FIG. 8 shows the normalized expression values relative to IgG-treated mice for each of MC38 and CT26 tumors.

Comparisons of relative gene expression were determined to be statistically significant if P<0.05. P-values were calculated using unpaired, two-tailed t-test analyses of the calculated gene expression of anti-CSF1R antibody (cmFPA008)-treated tumors compared to IgG control. Statistical significance is shown in FIG. 8 as follows: * p<0.05, ** p<0.01.

Example 6: Combination Therapy with an Anti-CSF1R Antibody and a PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor

Anti-CSF1R antibody (an antibody comprising heavy chain and light chain variable regions of SEQ ID NOs: 53 and 60, respectively) are administered in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody at increasing dosages in subjects with a variety of tumor types, including NSCLC, melanoma, SCCHN, bladder cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The anti-CSF1R antibody is administered at doses ranging from 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg. The anti-CSF1R antibody and the anti-PD-1 antibody are dosed concurrently every 2 weeks.

Anti-CSF1R antibody and anti-PD-1 antibody are administered to three subsets of patients with melanoma: naïve (have never received either antibody), acquired resistance (have progressed after an initial anti-PD-1 antibody response), and de novo resistance (did not respond to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy).

Pre- and post-treatment core needle biopsies are obtained in a subset of subjects to evaluate potential changes in immune cells, stroma, and tumor cells after treatment. In addition to hematoxylin and eosin staining to assess the overall cellularity of the tumor, specific assays are used to monitor macrophage numbers and subtypes. Patients are additionally monitored for overall response, immune-related response, and overall survival.

For some, most, or all patients, the number of CD8+ T cells increases after treatment with the combination and/or the number of Treg cells decreases after treatment with the combination. In addition, for some, most, or all patients, the number of tumor enhancing M2 macrophages decreases and the number of tumor suppressing M1 macrophages increases after treatment with the combination. Finally, for some, most, or all patients, tumor necrosis increases after treatment with the combination.

Example 7: Summary of a Monotherapy and Combination Therapy Clinical Trial with an Anti-CSF1R Antibody and an Anti-PD-1 Antibody

Anti-CSF1R antibody HuAB1 is given as a monotherapy and in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab in patients with selected advanced cancers and who have not previously received a CSF1R pathway inhibitor in an open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study. Nivolumab has previously been approved for use in melanoma, metastatic NSCLC, and in combination with ipilmumab, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. For the combination arms of the study, HuAB1 and nivolumab will be given on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle; nivolumab will be given as an IV infusion over 30 minutes first, with a 30-minute rest between 2 infusions, followed by a 30-minute HuAB1 IV infusion.

The first phase of the study (Phase 1a) comprises two HuAB1 monotherapy reference cohorts (1aM1 and 1aM2) and three dose-escalation cohorts of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab (1aC1, 1aC2, and 1aC3). The second phase of the study (Phase 1b) comprises eight cohorts (1b1 through 1b8) across six cancer types. Approximately 270 total patients will take part in the study, 30 in the first phase and 240 in the second phase with 30 in each of the 8 cohorts of the second phase. Individual patients will be enrolled in no more than one of the study arms 1aM, 1aC, or 1b. FIG. 6 shows a schematic of the study design.

In Phase 1a, monotherapy patients in cohorts 1aM1 and 1aM2 are given 2 mg/Kg or 4 mg/Kg HuAB1 once every 14 days (q2w). Combination therapy cohorts 1aC1, 1aC2, and 1aC3 are given 1, 2, or 4 mg/Kg HuAB1 and 3 mg/Kg nivolumab once every 14 days (q2w). Patients in the 1aM1 and 1aC1 cohorts are treated for a total of two 14-day cycles within a 28-day period, followed by the other cohorts. A 3 mg/Kg HuAB1 and 3 mg/Kg nivolumab cohort may also be included. In Phase 1a, patients may be included in either the monotherapy or combination therapy cohorts if they have a histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumor that is locally recurrent or metastatic and has progressed following standard treatment or is not appropriate for standard treatment. Patients with any prior exposure to any PD-1 pathway targeting drug are excluded.

In Phase 1b, eight patient cohorts are treated, as follows.

Cohort 1b1: NSCLC (Anti-PD-1 Therapy Naïve, Second or Third Lines).

This cohort may include patients with histologically or cytologically documented squamous or non-squamous NSCLC who present with Stage IIIB or IV disease (according to version 7 of the international association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging manual in Thoracic oncology) and with recurrent or progressive disease following multi-modal therapy (radiation therapy, surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation) for locally advanced or metastatic disease. It may include patients with progression or recurrence during/after a platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen for advanced or metastatic disease. Patients with any prior exposure to any PD-1 pathway targeting drug are excluded.

Cohort 1b2: NSCLC (Patients Refractory to Anti-PD-1 Targeting Drugs).

This cohort may include patients with histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC who present with Stage IIIB locally advanced or Stage IV disease, and patients with radiological evidence of disease progression during treatment with a PD-1 pathway targeting drug that did not produce a clinical response (i.e., neither CR nor PR) and with progressive disease as the best response. In the context of this cohort, refractory patients are patients that have had no clinical response after receiving at least 2 doses of any PD-1 targeting drug. Patients that are intolerant to any PD-1 pathway targeting drug are excluded, where intolerance is defined as any treatment-related Grade 4 adverse event, or any treatment-related Grade 2 or 3 adverse event that is unacceptable to the patient and persists despite standard countermeasures.

Cohort 1b3: Melanoma (Anti-PD-1 Therapy Naïve)

This cohort may include patients with histologically or cytologically documented Stage III or IV melanoma as per the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system who are either refractory to, intolerant to, or have refused, standard therapy for treatment of metastatic melanoma. Included patients may demonstrate objective evidence of disease progression despite treatment with a BRAF inhibitor or may be BRAF wild-type. Patients with any prior exposure to any PD-1 pathway targeting drug, who are BRAF mutant, or whose BRAF mutational status is not known or cannot be determined are excluded.

Cohort 1b4: Melanoma (Refractory or Relapsed on Anti-PD-1 Targeting Drug)

Patients in this cohort may have histologically or cytologically documented unresectable Stage III or IV melanoma as per the AJCC staging system. Included patents may show radiological evidence of disease progression during treatment with a Checkpoint inhibitor or a PD-1 targeting drug that did not produce a clinical benefit, or may show, while receiving treatment with a PD-1 targeting drug, progressive disease as the best response or disease progression after an initial clinical benefit. In the context of this cohort, refractory patients are patients that have had no clinical response after receiving at least 2 doses of any PD-1 targeting drug. Included patients may demonstrate objective evidence of disease progression despite treatment with a BRAF inhibitor or may be BRAF wild-type. Any prior anticancer therapy including dacarbazine, BRAF inhibitor (if BRAF V600 mutantion positive) and/or ipilimumab and palliative radiotherapy are completed at least 3 weeks prior to study drug administration and treatment with a PD-1 targeting drug is discontinued at least 6 weeks prior to first dose of the study drug. Patients that are intolerant to any PD-1 pathway targeting drug as defined above are excluded, as are pateints who are BRAF mutant or whose BRAF mutational status is either unknown or cannot be determined.

Cohort 1b5: Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) (Second Line)

Patients with histologically or cytologically documented recurrent or metastatic SCCHN (oral cavity, pharynx, larynx), stage III or IV and not amenable to local therapy with curative intent (surgery or radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy) may be included in this cohort. Patients may also have progression or recurrence within 6 months of the last dose of platinum therapy in the adjuvant (i.e. with radiation after surgery), primary (i.e., with radiation), recurrent, or metastatic setting. Clinical progression after platinum therapy is an allowable event for entry and is defined as progression of a lesion at least 10 mm in size that is amenable to caliper measurement (e.g., superficial skin lesion as per RECIST v1.1) or a lesion that has been visualized and photographically recorded with measurements and shown to have progressed. Patients with prior exposure to an anti-PD-1 drug are excluded.

Cohort 1b6: Pancreatic Cancer (Second Line)

Included patients may have histologically or cytologically documented localized or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, which has failed (or are not indicated for) standard therapy. Patients may also have received prior surgery, radiation therapy for the management of locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas providing that disease progression has been documented. All toxicities should be resolved, and the last fraction of radiation treatment was completed at least 4 weeks prior to first study drug administration. Patients with prior exposure to an anti-PD-1 drug are excluded.

Cohort 1b7: Colorectal Cancer (Third Line)

Included patients may have histologically or cytologically documented adenocarcinoma of colon or rectum, and they may have metastatic colorectal cancer with documented disease progression after the last administration of standard therapies or intolerance to standard therapies (and approved therapies had to include a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, bevacizumab, and, if KRAS wild-type, cetuximab or panitumumab). Patients with prior exposure to an anti-PD-1 drug are excluded.

Cohort 1b8: Malignant Glioma (First Recurrence)

Patients in this cohort may have histologically or cytologically documented advanced World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV malignant glioma (glioblastoma or gliosarcoma) and may have had previous treatment with surgery, radiotherapy and temozolomide. Patients may have a documented first recurrence by diagnostic biopsy or contrast-enhanced MRI performed within 21 days of first study drug administration per Response Assessment in Neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria. Patients are excluded if they have received prior treatment with bevacizumab or another VEGF or VEGF receptor targeting agent, more than 1 recurrence of glioblastoma or gliosarcoma, or prior exposure to any PD-1 targeting drug.

Monotherapy patients are administered HuAB1 as a 30 minute IV infusion. Combination therapy patients receive the nivolumab infusion first at a dose of 3 mg/kg as a 30-minute IV infusion, on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle. They receive HuAB1 following the nivolumab infusion on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle, with a 30-minute rest between the two infusions.

A biopsy at the tumor site is collected prior to Day 1 of the first cycle of the study and again on Day 29. Patients are also assessed for overall survival post-study, progression-free survival, and duration of response for those patients with confirmed responses, based on the criteria of RECIST v1.1. CT/MRI (chest, abdomen, pelvis, and brain) are performed before Day 1, during treatment, and following the study, and measurements of tumor burden are taken. The primary response parameter is the objective response rate, which is the number of patients with complete or partial response divided by the total number of treated patients with measurable disease at baseline. Tumor response is assessed using RECIST v1.1, Appendix F.

Example 8: Complete Clinical Trial Phase 1a and 1b Protocol—Monotherapy and Combination Therapy Clinical Trial with an Anti-CSF1R Antibody (HuAB1 Also Known as FPA008) and an Anti-PD-1 Antibody (Nivolumab) 1 INTRODUCTION AND STUDY RATIONALE Colony Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor and Tumor-Associated Macrophages

Macrophages are myeloid-derived cells that carry out a variety of functions in the human body. They can colonize tissues (and tumors) through two distinct mechanisms: hematogenous seeding from circulating monocytes or local self-renewal in the form of tissue-resident macrophages (Lavin, 2013). Recent studies have shown that macrophages exert their physiological effect within, and play roles unique to, the tissues in which they are active (Lavin, 2014). Macrophage regulation is complex as these cells actively secrete and respond to multiple cytokine and chemokine gradients within their local environment.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cell types in the tumor microenvironment. Substantial evidence suggests that TAMs are polarized towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2) that inhibits anti-tumor immune responses (Noy, 2014) through both cell-cell contact and soluble factors such as immunosuppressive cytokines. Consistent with this, increased levels of TAMs are associated with a poor prognosis in a majority of cancers (Komohara, 2014).

Following treatment with anti-CSF1R agents, the macrophages that have not been depleted may be repolarized from an M2 immunosuppressive state to an M1 anti-tumor state which would support T-cell responses. This conversion, associated with concurrent treatment modalities, such as anti-PD-1 treatment, could have an increased effect on reduction of tumor growth (Ruffell, 2015).

Response rates in ongoing PD-L1 studies have been shown to correlate with the concentration of PD-1/PD-L1 in the tumor stroma (Tumeh, 2014). Of note, there is also a significant amount of macrophages in the tumor stroma as recruitment of monocytes into the tumor stroma leads to their development into suppressive M2 macrophages. The association of monocytes and macrophages with PD-L1 has been shown to suppress tumor-specific T-cell immunity and correlate with poor survival in patients. Predictably, blockade of monocyte-associated PD-L1 positive cells in vivo was demonstrated to improve tumor-specific T-cell immunity. In vitro studies have also shown that activated monocytes expressing PD-L1 demonstrate considerable prevention of tumor-specific T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, and cytotoxic potential (Kuang, 2009).

Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) signaling plays a fundamental role in the differentiation, maintenance, and function of macrophages and a subset of other myeloid lineage cells that includes monocytes, and osteoclasts (Hamilton, 2013). The two known ligands for CSF1R are CSF1 and IL34. Both of these agonists bind to overlapping regions of CSF1R with similar affinity (Masteller, 2014), even though they have little amino acid homology in common. Mice lacking CSF1R have deficiencies in macrophages, underscoring the essential role of the CSF1R pathway in the biology of this cell type (Dai, 2002). Pharmacologic treatments that block CSF1R in cancer settings are expected to reduce or reprogram TAMs and reduce immune suppression. Overall, this could produce a tumor microenvironment that is more conducive to immune-based anti-cancer therapies.

HuAB1 is a recombinant, humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody that binds to human CSF1R. The interaction of HuAB1 and CSF1R antagonizes the binding of both CSF1 and IL34 to CSF1R, thereby preventing receptor activation. HuAB1 inhibits both CSF1 and IL34-induced CSF1R phosphorylation in a cell line engineered to overexpress CSF1R (CHO-CSF1R), demonstrating experimentally that HuAB1 blocks the activation of ligand-induced CSF1R signaling pathways. HuAB1 also inhibits CSF1 and IL34-induced proliferation and survival of peripheral blood monocytes in vitro, demonstrating that HuAB1 inhibits not only the initiation of CSF1 and IL34 signaling pathways, but also the subsequent physiologic responses of primary human monocytes to these ligands.

Taken together, these and other emerging data suggest that blocking CSF1R with HuAB1 treatment could alleviate the immunosuppressive tumor environment that is generated by TAMs and could improve the efficacy of immune-based anti-cancer therapies.

PD-1

Programmed Cell Death-1 (PD-1; CD279) is a cell surface signaling receptor that delivers inhibitory signals that regulate the balance between T-cell activation and tolerance by interacting with its ligands, PD-L1 (CD274; B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC/CD273). It is a 55 kD type I transmembrane protein that is a member of the CD28 family of T-cell costimulatory receptors, which also includes inducible co-stimulator (ICOS), cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), and B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) (Freeman, 2000). PD-1 contains an intracellular membrane proximal immunoreceptor tyrosine inhibitory motif (ITIM) and a membrane distal immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif (ITSM). PD-1 is primarily expressed on activated T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells (Nishimura, 2001a). Its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, have been shown to down-regulate T-cell activation upon binding to PD-1 in both murine and human systems (Carter, 2002; Latchman, 2001). PD-1 delivers a negative signal by the recruitment of SHP-2 to the phosphorylated tyrosine residue in the ITSM in its cytoplasmic region (Chemnitz, 2004; Sheppard, 2004).

Evidence for a negative regulatory role of PD-1 comes from studies of PD-1-deficient mice, which develop various autoimmune phenotypes, including dilated cardiomyopathy and a lupus-like syndrome with arthritis and nephritis (Nishimura, 1999; Nishimura, 2001b; Okazaki, 2003). The emergence of these autoimmune phenotypes is dependent on the genetic background of the mouse strain; many of these phenotypes emerge at different times and show variable penetrance. In addition to the phenotypes of null mutations, PD-1 inhibition by antibody-mediated blockade in several murine models has been found to play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases such as encephalomyelitis, graft-versus-host disease, and type I diabetes (Ansari, 2003; Blazar, 2003; Salama, 2003). Taken together, these results suggest that PD-1 blockade has the potential to activate anti-self T-cell responses, but these responses are variable and dependent upon various host genetic factors. Thus, PD-1 deficiency or inhibition is not accompanied by a universal loss of tolerance to self-antigens.

The PD-1 targeting agent, nivolumab has been clinically tested in several tumor types including NSCLC, melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as a single agent or in combination with other treatments. Some of the efficacy data from the nivolumab Investigator's Brochure (IB) are shown in Table 1, below. Nivolumab as a single agent has remarkable durable efficacy in a subpopulation of patients. The enhanced effect of nivolumab combinations suggests the potential for opportunities with further benefits for patients as a combination regimen with other untested agents.

Nivolumab is currently FDA-approved for unresectable or metastatic melanoma and disease progression following ipilimumab and, if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor. It is also approved for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

1.1 Rationale for HuAB1 and Nivolumab Combination Therapy

HuAB1 is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CSF1R. Targeting the CSF1R pathway with antibodies or small molecule inhibitors has been shown to be effective in syngeneic mouse tumor models. In an MC38 colon adenocarcinoma model in mice, a CSF1R targeting antibody resulted in a significant reduction of TAMs, which was accompanied by a positive shift of the CD8⁺ to CD4⁺ ratio towards cytotoxic CD8⁺ T cells. In a recent clinical study, RG7155 (a CSF1R targeting antibody) was tested in patients with solid tumors and was shown to substantially reduce CSF1R⁺CD163⁺ macrophages in tumors (Ries, 2014). This reduction in macrophages was also associated with a decrease in FOXP3⁺ regulatory T cells. These data suggest that other immune effector cells were indirectly influenced by CSF1R blockade. In a mouse proneural glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) model, small molecule inhibition of CSF1R significantly increased survival and regressed established tumors (Pyonteck, 2013). In this model, TAMs were not depleted, but instead converted to a more pro-inflammatory phenotype in the presence of CSF1R inhibition.

In an orthotopic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) model, CSF1R pathway blockade with a small molecule or an anti-CSF1 antibody selectively decreased immunosuppressive TAMs, subsequently reducing immunosuppression. This decrease in immunosuppressive TAMs enabled the remaining pro-inflammatory TAMs to support antigen presentation and bolster the anti-tumor T-cell response (Zhu, 2014). This, in turn, led to an increased interferon response that upregulated T-cell checkpoint inhibitors, including PD-L1, on tumor cells. This counter-regulation served to limit the anti-tumor T-cell response through engagement of the T-cell inhibitor PD-1. Importantly, anti-PD-1 treatment was able to overcome the PD-L1-mediated inhibition. Targeting PD-1 as a single agent showed limited efficacy in restraining PDAC tumor growth, but combining PD-1 blockade with CSF1R inhibition potently elicited tumor regression even in large, established tumors.

Together, these data suggest that reprogramming the TAM compartment in tumors via HuAB1-mediated CSF1R blockade could reduce immunosuppressive TAMs in the tumor microenvironment and improve the efficacy of checkpoint-based immunotherapies such as nivolumab.

1.2 Rationale for HuAB1/Nivolumab Combination Therapy in Selected Tumor Types

TAMs can potently suppress anti-tumor immune responses. CSF1R is a cell surface receptor that is expressed on TAMs and regulates their survival and function. CSF1R-blocking antibodies have been shown to reduce TAMs in both murine and human tumors (Ries, 2014). TAMs are present in many human cancers suggesting that CSF1R blocking antibodies, such as HuAB1, could be used to treat multiple tumor types. In addition, TAMs have been shown to correlate with poor prognosis in a number of cancers, including lung, pancreatic, head and neck, and melanoma, among others (Komohara, 2014). Furthermore, analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas shows high correlation of CSF1R with PD-1/PD-L1 co-expression, and T-cell signatures in head and neck, lung, and melanoma cancers, as well as others. In preclinical models, CSF1R inhibition has also been shown to alter macrophage polarization and block glioma progression (Pyonteck, 2013). CSF1R blockade also reduces TAMs and synergizes with PD-1 and CTLA4 checkpoint blockade in pancreatic cancer models (Zhu, 2014). It was also shown that colorectal tumor cells express relatively lower levels of PD-L1 compared to melanoma or lung cancers and that the levels of PD-L1 observed are present on infiltrating myeloid cells (Llosa, 2015).

Nivolumab is currently being tested in multiple tumor types, including all of the tumor types proposed for the Phase 1b portion of this study. As the nivolumab data mature, they will help inform the Phase 1b expansion of this study into selected tumor types.

In addition to the ongoing studies, nivolumab has been approved for use in melanoma and squamous NSCLC. The melanoma approval was based on the results of the CheckMate 037 study. In this study, the efficacy and safety of nivolumab were compared with investigator's choice of chemotherapy (ICC) as a second-line or later-line treatment in patients with advanced melanoma. In this study, 272 patients were randomized to nivolumab and 133 to ICC. Confirmed objective responses were reported in 32% of the first 120 patients in the nivolumab group versus 11% of patients in the ICC group. Grade 3-4 adverse events attributed to nivolumab included increased lipase, increased ALT, anemia, and fatigue (1% each); for ICC, these included neutropenia (14%), thrombocytopenia (6%), and anemia (5%). There were also Grade 3-4 drug-related SAEs in 5% of nivolumab-treated patients and 9% of patients in the ICC group. No treatment-related deaths occurred (Weber, 2015).

The approval in NSCLC for nivolumab was based on the results of the CheckMate 017 and CheckMate 063 studies. CheckMate 017 enrolled patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC who had experienced disease progression during or after one prior platinum doublet-based chemotherapy regimen. OS with nivolumab treatment was 9.2 months, versus 6.0 months with docetaxel (Opdivo Package Insert, 2015). CheckMate 063 assessed the activity of nivolumab in patients with advanced, refractory, squamous NSCLC. The study enrolled and treated 117 patients. Of these, 14.5% of patients had an objective response as assessed by an independent radiology review committee and 26% had stable disease. Median time to response was 3.3 months and median duration of response was not reached. Of the 17 responses, 77% were ongoing at the time of analysis. Of the 117 patients, 17% reported Grade 3-4 treatment-related AEs, including: fatigue (4%), pneumonitis (3%), and diarrhea (3%). There were two treatment-associated deaths caused by pneumonia and ischemic stroke that occurred in patients with multiple comorbidities in the setting of progressive disease (Rizvi, 2015).

The data reported above support investigation of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab in melanoma, NSCLC, head and neck, pancreatic, colorectal, and glioma cancers.

1.3 Rationale for Starting Dose for HuAB1 Monotherapy and Combination Dose Escalation

The Sponsor has already initiated a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical study designed in 3 parts to evaluate safety, PK and biomarkers of single agent HuAB1 in healthy volunteers and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (Study FPA008-001). In Parts 1 and 2 of this study, HuAB1 was tested in healthy volunteers at doses of 0.2, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg body weight. In the healthy volunteer group, at 1 mg/kg, 7 subjects received a single dose and 5 subjects received 2 doses; at 3 mg/kg, 10 subjects received a single dose and 2 subjects received 2 doses; at 10 mg/kg, 6 subjects received a single dose of HuAB1. Multiple-dose cohorts were given doses 14 days apart and all subjects were followed up for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) through a 28-day window.

As of Sep. 23, 2014, 48 subjects have completed Parts 1 and 2 of the study. No DLTs were reported in Parts 1 or 2. All adverse events (AEs) were Grade 1 or 2 and self-limited with the most common HuAB1 treatment-related toxicities being pruritus, eyelid edema along with facial swelling, fatigue, and headache. Temporary elevations in serum enzymes such as creatinine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were observed.

In the ongoing Part 3 arm of the Phase 1 study, RA patients who did not respond to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are participating in an open-label study at different dose levels of HuAB1 at 1, 3, and 6 mg/kg body weight. These patients are required to be on a stable weekly dose of methotrexate before and during the study and will receive 2 doses of HuAB1, 14 days apart. In addition to other analyses, the patients are being followed for safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) after the 2-dose regimen.

In summary, 36 healthy volunteers and 6 RA patients have received HuAB1 to date, no DLTs were reported in Parts 1 or 2, and no significant treatment-related toxicities have been reported from RA patients in the 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg dose levels. The safety profile of nivolumab is well established and supported by the recent U.S. marketing authorizations for the treatment of melanoma and squamous NSCLC. The number of subjects dosed, the dose levels evaluated, and the current overall AE profile of HuAB1 and nivolumab support concurrent initiation of the 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy and 1 mg/kg HuAB1 with 3 mg/kg nivolumab combination therapy cohorts in this study.

The Phase 1a portion of this study will consist of a two-step monotherapy dose escalation of HuAB1 at 2 mg/kg followed by 4 mg/kg HuAB1. There will also be a three-step dose escalation of a fixed dose of 3 mg/kg nivolumab in combination with 1 mg/kg HuAB1, followed by 2 mg/kg HuAB1, then 4 mg/kg HuAB1.

The 4 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort will be opened after the 28-day DLT period clears in the 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort. The 2 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohort will only start after the DLT period clears in the 1 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohort and 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort. The 4 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohort will be opened after the DLT period clears in the 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohorts and in the 2 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohorts. The dose escalation schematic is shown in FIG. 7 .

All patients will be on a continuous dosing schedule every 14 days and followed up until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.

1.4 Rationale for 30-Minute Infusion Administration for Each Study Drug

Long infusion times, especially when multiple agents are administered sequentially to an individual, place a burden on patients and treatment centers.

HuAB1, a CSF1R inhibitor, has been dosed over 30 minutes in studies in healthy volunteers and also for patients with RA.

Nivolumab has been administered safely over 60 minutes at doses ranging up to 10 mg/kg over extended treatment durations. In Study CA209010, (a Phase 2, randomized, double blinded, dose-ranging study of nivolumab in subjects with advanced/metastatic clear-cell RCC), a dose association was observed for infusion site reactions and hypersensitivity reactions (1.7% at 0.3 mg/kg, 3.7% at 2 mg/kg and 18.5% at 10 mg/kg). All events were Grade 1 or 2 and manageable. An infusion duration of 30 minutes for 3 mg/kg nivolumab (30% of the dose provided at 10 mg/kg) is not expected to present more serious safety concerns compared to the prior experience of 10 mg/kg nivolumab infused over 60 minutes.

Overall, infusion reactions, including high-grade hypersensitivity reactions, have been uncommon across nivolumab and HuAB1 clinical studies. Furthermore, a 30 minute break following the nivolumab infusion in the combination cohorts will ensure time for appropriate safety monitoring before the start of the HuAB1 infusion. Overall, a variation in the safety profile is not anticipated with a 30-minute infusion of nivolumab or HuAB1 either alone or in combination.

1.5 Research Purposes

The purpose of the Phase 1a arm of this trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability following administration of HuAB1 monotherapy as well as in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced cancers and to identify the recommended dose (RD) of HuAB1 for the Phase 1b combination arm of this study.

The purpose of the Phase 1b arm of this trial is to further characterize the safety profile of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab and to evaluate the clinical benefit at the RD of HuAB1/nivolumab combination therapy in patients with selected, advanced cancers.

1.7 Product Development Background

1.7.1 Mechanism of Action 1.7.1.1 HuAB1

HuAB1 is a recombinant, humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds to human CSF1R. Binding of HuAB1 to CSF1R antagonizes its natural ligands, CSF1 and IL34, thereby preventing activation of CSF1R. HuAB1 contains a single amino acid substitution in the hinge region to prevent hemi-dimer exchange.

HuAB1 inhibits both CSF1 and IL34-induced CSF1R phosphorylation in a cell line engineered to overexpress CSF1R (CHO-CSF1R), demonstrating that HuAB1 blocks the activation of ligand-induced CSF1R signaling pathways. HuAB1 also inhibits CSF1 and IL34-induced proliferation and survival of peripheral blood monocytes in vitro, demonstrating that HuAB1 inhibits not only the initiation of CSF1 and IL34 signaling pathways, but also the subsequent physiologic responses of primary human monocytes to these ligands.

CSF1R is expressed on cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and signaling through CSF1R via its ligands, CSF1 and IL34, supports differentiation, maintenance, and function of monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts. TAMs are among the most abundant immune cell types in the tumor microenvironment. Substantial evidence suggests that TAMs are polarized towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype and through both cell surface inhibitors and soluble factors, such as immunosuppressive cytokines, play a major role in inhibiting anti-tumor immune responses (Noy, 2014). CSF1 is a major survival factor for TAMs and targeting CSF1R through HuAB1 should reduce TAM-mediated immune suppression resulting in strengthening the anti-tumor response to immunotherapy. Therefore, a drug that inhibits CSF1R should limit the immune-suppressive influence of TAMs on the tumor microenvironment and could be complementary and augment current cancer therapies.

Since HuAB1 does not cross-react to mouse CSF1R, a surrogate antibody, cmHuAB1, was developed that binds and blocks mouse CSF1R with similar potency observed for HuAB1 against human CSF1R. cmHuAB1 contains rat variable regions and a mouse IgG1 Fc region. Binding of cmHuAB1 to mouse CSF1R was demonstrated in a direct binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and cmHuAB1 inhibitory activity was demonstrated by its ability to inhibit CSF1-induced and IL34-induced proliferation of a CSF1/IL34-dependent cell line (mNFS60). The EC₅₀ value for cmHuAB1 binding to mouse CSF1R is 2.4 ng/mL, and the IC₅₀ values for inhibition of mouse CSF1-induced and mouse IL34-induced proliferation/survival of mNFS60 cells are 32.9 and 9.1 ng/mL, respectively.

1.7.1.2 Nivolumab

Cancer immunotherapy rests on the premise that tumors can be recognized as foreign rather than as self and can be effectively attacked by an activated immune system. An effective immune response in this setting is thought to rely on immune surveillance of tumor antigens expressed on cancer cells that ultimately results in an adaptive immune response and cancer cell death. Meanwhile, tumor progression may depend upon acquisition of traits that allow cancer cells to evade immunosurveillance and escape effective innate and adaptive immune responses (Dunn, 2002; Jemal, 2011; Pardoll, 2003; Zitvogel, 2006). Current immunotherapy efforts attempt to break the apparent tolerance of the immune system to tumor cells and antigens by either introducing cancer antigens by therapeutic vaccination or by modulating regulatory checkpoints of the immune system.

T-cell stimulation is a complex process involving the integration of numerous positive as well as negative co-stimulatory signals in addition to antigen recognition by the T-cell receptor (TCR) (Greenwald, 2004). Collectively, these signals govern the balance between T-cell activation and tolerance. PD-1 signaling has been shown to inhibit CD28-mediated upregulation of IL-2, IL-10, IL-13, interferon-□amma (IFN-γ) and Bcl-xL. PD-1 signaling has also been noted to inhibit T-cell activation, and expansion of previously activated cells. Evidence for a negative regulatory role of PD-1 comes from studies of PD-1 deficient mice, which develop a variety of autoimmune phenotypes (Sharpe, 2007). These results suggest that PD-1 blockade has the potential to promote anti-self T-cell responses, but these responses are variable and dependent upon various host genetic factors. Thus, PD-1 deficiency or inhibition is not accompanied by a universal loss of tolerance to self antigens.

In vitro, nivolumab binds to PD-1 with high affinity (EC₅₀ 0.39-2.62 nM), and inhibits the binding of PD-1 to its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2 (IC₅₀ □ 1 nM). Nivolumab binds specifically to PD-1 and not to related members of the CD28 family such as CD28, ICOS, CTLA-4 and BTLA. Blockade of the PD-1 pathway by nivolumab results in a reproducible enhancement of both proliferation and IFN-γ release in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). Using a cytomegalovirus (CMV) re-stimulation assay with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the effect of nivolumab on antigen-specific recall response is indicative of nivolumab-augmented IFN-γ secretion from CMV-specific memory T cells in a dose-dependent manner versus an isotype-matched control. In vivo blockade of PD-1 by a murine analog of nivolumab enhances the anti-tumor immune response and results in tumor rejection in several immunocompetent mouse tumor models (MC38, SA1/N, and PAN02) (Wolchok, 2009).

1.7.2 Preclinical Summary 1.7.2.1 HuAB1

The ability of cmHuAB1 to inhibit cancer growth in vivo was studied in an MC38 colon cancer model in immune-competent mice. These mice were selected to allow for the establishment of an intact tumor-immune interaction. Treatment with cmHuAB1 began when tumors reached approximately 100 mm³. Mice were treated once per week by intraperitoneal injection of cmHuAB1 at 30 mg/kg, and the tumor growth was compared to mice treated with albumin alone. cmHuAB1 significantly reduced the growth of MC38 tumors compared to control-treated mice. Flow cytometry analysis of control mice showed that the CD11b⁺ myeloid compartment in MC38 tumors was dominated by CD206⁺ macrophages. CD206 is a marker of immunosuppressive M2 macrophages. These CD206⁺ M2 immunosuppressive macrophages were significantly reduced upon treatment with cmHuAB1. The reduction of M2 macrophages was accompanied by an increase in CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells relative to total CD4⁺ T cells or regulatory T cells defined as CD4⁺CD25^(high) cells. These data suggest reduction of immunosuppressive macrophages by cmHuAB1 results in a shift towards a greater cytotoxic T cell response in the tumor.

The PK profile of HuAB1 is complex and characterized by nonlinear clearance that is likely mediated by binding to CSF1R on cells. As monocyte and macrophage cells are dependent on CSF1R for viability, these target-bearing cells are reduced in number following HuAB1 treatment, resulting in a decrease of target-mediated clearance. As target-mediated clearance becomes saturated at high or repeat doses, HuAB1 clearance is similar to other human IgG antibodies.

Three PD biomarkers correlate with HuAB1 exposure in nonclinical studies: CSF1 serum levels, circulating CD16-positive peripheral blood monocytes (CD16⁺ monocytes), and serum markers of bone resorption (Trap5b and CTX). CSF1 serum levels rapidly rise and CD16⁺ monocyte levels rapidly fall in a dose-dependent manner that correlates closely with HuAB1 plasma concentration. Saturation of the PD response is achieved at a low dose of HuAB1 (3 mg/kg weekly) in cynomolgus monkeys. The half-maximal response (IC₅₀) for reduction of CD16⁺ monocytes occurs at a serum concentration of approximately 3 μg/mL and the maximal response occurs at approximately 10 μg/mL. The level of CD16-negative (CD16⁻) monocytes does not change with exposure to HuAB1.

In the in vivo toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys, HuAB1 was generally well tolerated. Test article-related findings included clinical observations, hematology and clinical chemistry changes, and histopathological changes. The majority of these observations were considered non-adverse. The most prominent clinical observation was reversible periorbital edema, seen after prolonged exposure to HuAB1. The onset of the edema did not show a clear relationship to exposure levels, but edema resolved after systemic clearance of the drug. Periorbital edema is a known side effect of drugs affecting the CSF1 pathway (Cassier, 2014; Ries, 2014). The main hematologic change was a reversible decrease in circulating CD16⁺ monocytes, which was considered a PD effect. HuAB1-related clinical chemistry effects included reversible increased ALT, AST, CK, and LDH serum levels. These laboratory abnormalities were not associated with any histopathological evidence of liver, cardiac, or muscle tissue injury. Additionally, cardiac troponin, skeletal troponin (SkTnI), myoglobin, and aldolase did not show any changes further confirming the lack of any liver or muscle injury. The increased serum levels are attributed to diminished clearance of ALT, AST, CK, and LDH molecules from serum due to a reduced number of liver Kupffer cells (Radi, 2011). Accordingly, ALT, AST, CK, and LDH elevations are considered non-toxic and an indirect PD effect of HuAB1 exposure.

A noteworthy histopathological finding was the reversible expansion of the submucosal collagen fibers by clear space and varying amounts of a blue, granular extracellular matrix (ECM) in a variety of tissues. This change was neither associated with inflammatory cells nor with any sign of degeneration or other alteration of the collagen fibers, fibroblasts, or the smooth muscle cells within the area of expansion. A similar observation was also seen in op/op mice that lack functional CSF1. The reduction of tissue macrophages is the likely cause of the observed accumulation of ECM due to a decreased clearance of glycosaminoglycans, especially hyaluronic acid, that are prominent in connective tissue and are normally catabolized by macrophages (Radi, 2009). This change is also considered to be an indirect PD effect of HuAB1.

Cardiac troponin I was below the limit of quantitation (LOQ) in all samples except for one female monkey in the 150 mg/kg group at Day 28. This animal did have a corresponding microscopic finding in the heart. While elevations of cardiac troponin I are highly specific for myocardial injury, the level detected in this monkey (0.26 ng/mL) was marginally above the assay LOQ (0.20 ng/mL) and much lower than what would be expected for an adverse cardiac event.

The no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for HuAB1 was determined to be 100 mg/kg when administered for 13 weekly doses to cynomolgus monkeys, which provides a 32-fold safety factor based on body surface area calculation for the starting dose of 1 mg/kg in humans.

The minimum anticipated biological effect level (MABEL) was evaluated to guide starting dose decisions in healthy volunteers in the first-in-human study. The PD markers identified as representative of a biological effect were changes in CD16⁺ monocyte levels, elevation of plasma CSF1, and elevation of serum ALT, AST, CK, and LDH. The lowest HuAB1 plasma concentration at which a biological effect occurred for each marker ranged from 5 μg/mL to 105 μg/mL, and the HuAB1 dose that corresponded to 5 μg/mL at the maximum serum concentration (C_(max)) was estimated to be 0.2 mg/kg, the recommended starting dose in healthy volunteers.

1.7.2.2 Nivolumab

Nivolumab has been shown to bind specifically to the human PD-1 receptor and not to related members of the CD28 family, such as ICOS, CTLA-4, and BTLA (Nivolumab IB, 2014). Nivolumab inhibits the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, resulting in enhanced T-cell proliferation and IFN-γ release in vitro (Velu, 2009; Nivolumab IB, 2014). Fluorescent-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis confirmed that nivolumab binds to transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and activated human T cells expressing cell surface PD-1 and to cynomolgus monkey PD-1, but not to rat or rabbit PD-1 molecules. Nivolumab has also been shown to bind to PD-1 on virus-specific CD8⁺ T cells from chronically infected hepatitis C virus patients (Kaufmann, 2008; Rutebemberwa, 2008).

PD-1 inhibition in an MLR resulted in a reproducible concentration-dependent enhancement of IFN-γ release in the MLR up to 50 μg/mL. No effect was observed with a human IgG4 isotype control or CD4⁺ T cells and dendritic cell (DC) controls (Wang, 2014).

In intravenous (IV) repeat-dose toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys, nivolumab was well tolerated at doses up to 50 mg/kg, administered weekly for 5 weeks, and at doses up to 50 mg/kg, administered twice weekly for 27 doses. Nivolumab-related findings were limited to a reversible decrease of 28% in triiodothyronine (T₃) among the females administered 27 doses of 50 mg/kg nivolumab. No corresponding changes in the level of thyroxine (T₄), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or histologic changes in the thyroid were observed. While nivolumab alone was well tolerated in cynomolgus monkeys, combination studies have highlighted the potential for enhanced toxicity when combined with other immunostimulatory agents (Nivolumab IB, 2014).

Ipilimumab (BMS-734016), an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that blocks the down-regulation of T-cell activation, was used in combination with nivolumab to investigate the effects of concurrent inhibition of the PD-1 and CTLA-4 receptors in nonhuman primates (Nivolumab IB, 2014). Although gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity has not been observed in cynomolgus monkeys treated with nivolumab alone, dose-dependent GI toxicity was evident in cynomolgus monkeys treated weekly for 4 weeks with a combination of nivolumab+ipilimumab at combinations of 10 and 3 mg/kg and 50 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. GI effects have also been observed at a low incidence after ipilimumab administration (Nivolumab IB).

In addition, an enhanced pre- and post-natal development (ePPND) study in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys with nivolumab was conducted (Nivolumab IB, 2014). Administration of nivolumab at up to 50 mg/kg every 2 weeks was well tolerated by pregnant monkeys; however, nivolumab was determined to be a selective developmental toxicant when administered from the period of organogenesis to parturition at ≥10 mg/kg (area under the concentration-time curve [AUC] from time zero to 168 hours [AUC(0-168 h)] 117,000 μg·h/mL). Specifically, increased developmental mortality (including late gestational fetal losses and extreme prematurity with associated neonatal mortality) was noted in the absence of overt maternal toxicity. There were no nivolumab-related changes in surviving infants tested throughout the 6-month postnatal period. Although the cause of these pregnancy failures was undetermined, nivolumab-related effects on pregnancy maintenance are consistent with the established role of PD-L1 in maintaining fetomaternal tolerance in mice (Habicht, 2007).

1.7.3 Clinical Summary 1.7.3.1 HuAB1 1.7.3.1.1 Ongoing Study Summary of HuAB1

HuAB1 is currently being evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled first-in-human trial designed in 3 parts to study safety, PK, and PD in healthy volunteers and RA patients. The first two parts of the study were conducted in healthy volunteers and have been completed. In Part 1, 8 healthy volunteers were randomized (3:1) to receive a single IV infusion of HuAB1 or placebo, per dose cohort of 0.2, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg. In Part 2, 8 healthy volunteers were randomized (3:1) to receive 2 doses of HuAB1 or placebo administered 14 days apart, at 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg. Part 3 of the study will evaluate HuAB1 in RA patients and is currently ongoing. The data for Parts 1 and 2 are summarized below.

1.7.3.1.2 Clinical Pharmacology Summary of HuAB1

The PK of HuAB1 was evaluated by measuring systemic drug levels over time in all 36 subjects who received HuAB1 in Parts 1 and 2. Blood samples for determination of serum HuAB1 concentrations were collected pre-dose and at various time points up to 112 days (for Part 1) or 98 days (for Part 2) post-first dose. In addition, blood samples for determination of anti-HuAB1 antibodies were collected pre-dose and at various time points from Day 15 to Day 85 (for Part 1) or Day 15 to Day 99 (for Part 2).

Following a single administration of HuAB1 at 0.2, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg, total clearance decreased with increasing dose and ranged from 38.7 to 2.55 mL/day/kg. The total clearance of 2.55 mL/day/kg at 10 mg/kg is within the range for a typical human IgG monoclonal antibody. The C_(max) increased proportionally with dose, but the AUC did not. Following 2 doses given 14 days apart, there was no accumulation at 1 mg/kg. However, when the dose increased to 3 mg/kg, a mean of 1.60-fold drug accumulation was observed between the first and the second dose for the AUC from Day 1 to Day 15, while minimum accumulation was observed for C_(max) at the same dose level. The observed PK data suggested that CSF1R expressed on monocyte/macrophage lineage and other cell types contributed to target-mediated clearance of HuAB1. As monocyte and macrophage cells are dependent on CSF1R for viability, these target-bearing cells are reduced in number following HuAB1 treatment, resulting in a decrease of target-mediated clearance. Once target-mediated clearance is saturated at high or repeat doses, HuAB1 clearance is similar to other human IgG antibodies.

Immunogenicity of HuAB1 was assessed using a validated electrochemiluminescence assay (ECLA) that measured total anti-HuAB1 antibodies in serum. The limit of detection (sensitivity) of the assay was 39.1 ng/mL. Three subjects in cohort 2 (1 mg/kg single dose) had trace positive antibody titers, resulting in 8.3% incidence (3 of 36 subjects that received HuAB1). The trace positive antibody titers were first observed on Day 15 for 2 subjects and on Day 57 for 1 subject. Two subjects still had ADA-positive titers on Day 85 (the last time point tested). The presence of ADAs had negligible impact on HuAB1 exposure, if any, when compared to the subjects without ADAs in the same dose cohort, and there were no associated clinical sequelae based on the available data.

HuAB1 treatment induced a dose-dependent reduction of nonclassical CD16⁺ monocytes as a PD marker for HuAB1 treatment. The relationship between HuAB1 serum concentration and reduction of nonclassical CD16⁺ monocytes was analyzed and found to be concentration-dependent based on the data collected 72 hours post-treatment until the end of the study. At ≥5 μg/mL HuAB1 in serum, maximum reduction of nonclassical CD16⁺ monocytes was noted. Therefore, the dose to achieve trough serum concentration at ≥5 μg/mL in majority of patients is expected to be the target dose for maximum reduction of nonclassical CD16⁺ monocytes. The optimal exposure required to achieve clinical efficacy remains to be explored in clinical trials using HuAB1 in patients.

In summary, HuAB1 exhibited nonlinear clearance in the dose range tested. The PK characteristics observed in healthy volunteers support dosing of HuAB1 once every 2 weeks or less frequently to maintain desired drug exposure.

1.7.3.1.3 Clinical Safety Summary of HuAB1

The total number of subjects that received HuAB1 was 36 for both Part 1 and Part 2 with 6 subjects in each dose cohort. Dose escalation decisions were based on the incidence of DLTs plus attributed AEs beyond the DLT period.

HuAB1 was well tolerated in healthy volunteers up to 3 mg/kg multiple doses. The most common HuAB1 treatment-related toxicities were pruritus, eyelid edema along with facial swelling, fatigue, and headache. The events were Grade 1 or 2, and self-limited. The AE profile is similar to what has been reported in other compounds targeting the CSF1R pathway (Cassier, 2014). At 10 mg/kg, all 6 active subjects experienced moderate (Grade 2) eyelid edema or facial swelling, some accompanied with swelling in hands and feet, blurry vision, and weight increase. The events lasted up to 3 months and coincided with prolonged HuAB1 exposure at this dose level.

HuAB1 has shown elevation of liver enzymes, peaking at 2-8 weeks following drug administration and returning to normalization 12 weeks after discontinuation of drug. Dose-dependent elevations of CK up to 6.8 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and LDH up to 3.2 times ULN were noted at 1 mg/kg and above; AST elevations up to 2.4 times ULN occurred at 3 mg/kg and above and occurred in a greater percentage of healthy volunteers with increasing dose; and mild ALT elevation up to 1.2 times ULN occurred at 10 mg/kg in 1 subject. These elevations were considered to be due more to the mechanism of action of HuAB1-mediated inhibition of Kupffer cells, rather than any organic failure or injury and were not considered clinically significant. HuAB1 was initially tested in healthy volunteers at a dose of 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg body weight. At 1 mg/kg, 7 subjects received a single dose and 5 subjects received 2 doses at 14 day intervals and were followed up through the 28 day DLT window. In the 3 mg/kg healthy volunteer group, 10 subjects received a single dose and 2 subjects received 2 doses 14 days apart and were followed up for DLTs. Only 1 subject in the 3 mg/kg cohort had a Grade 1 concurrent increase of alkaline phosphatase and AST.

1.7.3.2 Nivolumab 1.7.3.2.1 Clinical Pharmacology Summary of Nivolumab

Single-dose PK of nivolumab was evaluated in patients with multiple tumor types in CA209001, whereas multiple-dose PK is being evaluated in patients in CA209003. In addition, a preliminary population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model has been developed with data from 350 patients from CA209001, CA209002, and CA209003.

The PK of nivolumab was studied in patients over a dose range of 0.1 to 20 mg/kg administered as a single dose or as multiple doses every 2 or 3 weeks. Based on a PPK analysis using data from 909 patients, the clearance (CL) (CV %) is 9.5 mL/h (49.7%), geometric mean volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) is 8.0 L (30.4%), and geometric mean elimination half-life (t_(1/2)) is 26.7 days (101%). Steady-state concentrations of nivolumab were reached by 12 weeks when administered at 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, and systemic accumulation was approximately 3-fold. The exposure to nivolumab increased dose proportionally over the dose range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg administered every 2 weeks (Opdivo Package Insert, 2015).

Based on a population PK analysis using data from 909 patients, the clearance of nivolumab increased with increasing body weight supporting a weight-based dose. The population PK analysis suggested that the following factors had no clinically important effect on the clearance of nivolumab: age (29 to 87 years), gender, race, baseline LDH, PD-L1 expression, tumor type, tumor size, renal impairment, and mild hepatic impairment (Opdivo Package Insert, 2015).

1.7.3.2.2 Safety Summary of Nivolumab

Overall, the safety profile of nivolumab monotherapy as well as combination therapy is manageable and generally consistent across completed and ongoing clinical trials with no MTD reached at any dose tested up to 10 mg/kg. There was no pattern in the incidence, severity, or causality of AEs to the nivolumab dose level. Most AEs were low-grade (Grade 1 to 2) with relatively few related high-grade (Grade 3 to 4) AEs. Most high-grade events were manageable with the use of corticosteroids or hormone replacement therapy (endocrinopathies) as instructed in the management algorithms provided in the nivolumab IB (Nivolumab IB, 2014).

A total of 39 and 306 patients with selected recurrent or treatment-refractory malignancies have been treated in a completed Phase 1 single-dose study (CA209001) and an ongoing Phase 1 multi-dose study (CA209003), respectively. As the safety profile from CA209003 to date is consistent with that observed for CA209001, only data from the larger and more recent study, CA209003, are presented below.

In CA209003 (n=306, including 129 patients with NSCLC), as of the 5 Mar. 2013 database lock, drug-related AEs of any grade occurred in 75% of patients. The most frequent drug-related AEs occurring in at least 5% of patients included fatigue (28%), rash (15%), diarrhea (13%), pruritus (11%), nausea (9%), decreased appetite (9%), decreased hemoglobin (6%), and pyrexia (6%). The majority of events were low grade, with Grade 3/4 drug-related AEs observed in 17% of patients. The most common Grade 3/4 drug-related AEs occurring in at least 1% of patients were fatigue (2%), pneumonitis (1%), diarrhea (1%), abdominal pain (1%), hypophosphatemia (1%), and lymphopenia (1%). Drug-related SAEs occurred in 14% of patients; 8% were Grade 3/4 including pneumonitis (1%) and diarrhea (1%). The spectrum, frequency, and severity of drug-related AEs were generally similar across the dose levels tested. A review of the safety data by tumor type (RCC, NSCLC, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer [mCRPC], colorectal cancer [CRC], and melanoma) also did not show any clinically meaningful differences in the proportion of patients with AEs noted across tumor type.

Select AEs with potential immune-related causality, previously termed “immune-related adverse events” or “adverse events of special interest” were also analyzed taking into account multiple events, with rates adjusted for treatment duration. Most events occurred within the first 6 months of therapy; cumulative or novel toxicities were not observed with prolonged drug exposure. Nineteen of 306 patients (6%) experienced Grade 3/4 treatment-related select AEs. Fifty-two of 230 patients (23%) with drug-related AEs required management with systemic glucocorticoids and/or other immunosuppressive agents. Twenty-one of 52 (40%) resumed nivolumab therapy after toxicity resolved, while the others discontinued therapy.

Although tumor progression was the most common cause of mortality, there were 3 drug-related deaths associated with Grade 3/4 pneumonitis. Pneumonitis (any grade) occurred in 12 of 306 patients (4%), and Grade 3/4 pneumonitis occurred in 4 patients (1%), with clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic radiographic abnormalities to progressive, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates associated with cough, fever, and/or dyspnea. No clear relationship between the occurrence of pneumonitis and tumor type, dose level, or treatment duration was noted. In 9 of 12 patients, pneumonitis was reversible after treatment discontinuation and/or with immunosuppressive therapy (glucocorticoids, infliximab, mycophenolate).

Additional details on the safety profile of nivolumab, including results from other clinical studies, are also available in the IB and package insert (Nivolumab IB, 2014; Opdivo Package Insert, 2015).

1.8 Overall Risk/Benefit Assessment

A number of drug candidates that target the CSF1R pathway are being studied in the clinic. These include antibodies that block agonist ligand binding to CSF1R or inhibit CSF1R dimerization as well as small molecules that block the kinase activity of CSF1R. The safety, PK, and PD of PD-0360324, an antibody to CSF1, in healthy volunteers has been reported (Sadis, 2009). The most significant treatment-emergent findings (increased liver enzyme levels) and AEs (i.e., periorbital edema) exhibited with PD-0360324 treatment are consistent with the data obtained to date with HuAB1.

A clinical study of RG7155 (an anti-dimerization CSF1R antibody) included patients with diffuse-type giant cell tumors (Dt-GCT). All seven evaluable patients showed partial metabolic response in FDG-PET imaging (according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer), with two patients approaching a complete metabolic response. Five of the seven patients went on to achieve partial responses at the first assessment. As with other agents targeting the CSF1R pathway, periorbital edema was the most common AE (Ries, 2014).

CSF1 is a major survival factor for TAMs and targeting CSF1R through HuAB1 should reduce TAM-mediated immunosuppression, resulting in strengthening the anti-tumor response to immunotherapy. Inhibition of CSF1R by HuAB1 could limit the influence of TAMs on the tumor microenvironment and be complementary to, and augment current cancer therapies.

Nivolumab has demonstrated clinical activity across several tumor types, particularly melanoma and NSCLC, where it has already been granted FDA approval. Nivolumab has also demonstrated a manageable safety profile. The most common AEs included fatigue, rash, pruritus, diarrhea, and nausea.

Preliminary reports of specific CSF1R inhibitors suggest that HuAB1 may be a beneficial treatment for patients with solid tumor malignancies. The robust clinical activity demonstrated by nivolumab in patients with advanced melanoma, NSCLC and RCC in combination with a manageable safety profile supports the further development of this treatment in patients with advanced cancers.

Based on available clinical safety data, toxicities for HuAB1 and nivolumab do not overlap (with the notable exception of liver enzyme elevations, discussed below) and therefore, cumulative toxicities are not expected as a result of this combination. HuAB1 has been linked to periorbital edema, and there has been only one case of peripheral edema with nivolumab. Additionally, nivolumab has been linked to immune-related AEs, and there have been no immune-related AEs with HuAB1 to date.

There is a temporary increase in liver enzymes (CK, AST, ALT, and LDH) in patients taking HuAB1 due to a reduction of Kupffer cells, and this has not been associated with any histopathological evidence of liver, cardiac, or skeletal tissue damage. Nivolumab is known to cause hepatic toxicities at a low frequency. Because of the potential for the combination of HuAB1 and nivolumab to yield elevated liver enzymes with different underlying mechanisms, risk mitigation guidelines have been designed to rapidly detect, and appropriately respond to, any evidence of liver perturbation during this study (Appendix E).

There remains an unmet medical need for cancer patients. Given the robust nonclinical and clinical data supporting these two molecules, the non-redundant, immune-based mechanisms of actions, and current body of safety data from multiple clinical studies, the logical combination of these two drugs may be beneficial for patients with cancer who are in need of expanded therapeutic options.

2 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN

2.1 Study Design and Duration

This study is a Phase 1a and 1b, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of HuAB1 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with selected advanced cancers. HuAB1 is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CSF1R and nivolumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against PD-1. For the combination arms of the study, HuAB1 and nivolumab will be given on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle; nivolumab will be given as an IV infusion over 30 minutes first, with a 30-minute rest between 2 infusions, followed by a 30-minute HuAB1 IV infusion.

The study will include a Phase 1a dose escalation and a Phase 1b dose expansion. Phase 1a consists of two HuAB1 monotherapy reference cohorts (1aM1 and 1aM2) and three dose-escalation cohorts of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab (1aC1, 1aC2, and 1aC3). Phase 1b consists of eight cohorts (1b1 through 1b8) across six cancer types. Patients will be enrolled into either Phase 1aM, 1aC, or Phase 1b of the study, but not two or all three. The study schematic is shown in FIG. 6 .

The study will consist of 3 periods including screening (up to 28 days), treatment, and follow-up/survival follow-up.

2.1.1 Screening Period

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed by the Investigator following the Study Reference Manual for the enrollment process to confirm that patients meet all eligibility criteria before the first infusion of study drug. Written informed consent for participation in the study must be obtained before performing any study specific screening tests or procedures, which are not considered standard of care. Screening assessments will be performed within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug unless otherwise specified.

Study procedure-related AEs that occur after signing of the ICF and before administration of the first study drug dose will be collected during this period.

2.1.2 Treatment Period

2.1.2.1 Phase 1a Monotherapy Cohorts (1aM1 and 1aM2) and Combination Dose Escalation Cohorts (1aC1, 1aC2, and 1aC3)

Phase 1a consists of two HuAB1 monotherapy reference cohorts and three dose-escalation cohorts of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab with minimum of 3 patients enrolled in each cohort. The planned dose levels and schedules for the Phase 1a cohorts are as follows:

Cohort 1aM1: 2 mg/kg HuAB1, q2w

Cohort 1aM2: 4 mg/kg HuAB1, q2w

Cohort 1aC1: 1 mg/kg HuAB1+3 mg/kg nivolumab, q2w

Cohort 1aC2: 2 mg/kg HuAB1+3 mg/kg nivolumab, q2w

Cohort 1aC3: 4 mg/kg HuAB1+3 mg/kg nivolumab, q2w

The 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort (1aM1) and the 1 mg/kg HuAB1+nivolumab combination cohort (1aC1) will be initiated first in parallel with sequential enrollment order, following a 3+3 design, starting with the 1aM1 monotherapy cohort. Patients in these cohorts will be treated for a total of two 14-day treatment cycles within the 28-day DLT period.

The 4 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort (1aM2) will open after the DLT period is cleared in the 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort (1aM1); the 2 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohort will only start after the DLT periods are cleared in both the 1aC1 HuAB1/nivolumab combination and 1aM1 HuAB1 monotherapy cohorts. The 4 mg/kg HuAB1/nivolumab combination cohort (1aC3) will open only after the DLT periods are cleared in the 1aC2 HuAB1/nivolumab combination and 1aM2 HuAB1 monotherapy cohorts. Depending on the outcome of the 4 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort, higher or a lower intermedian dose cohorts for both monotherapy and combination therapy (e.g., 3 mg/kg HuAB1 alone or in combination with nivolumab) may be opened up per the decision of Cohort Review Committee. All dose escalation decisions will be based on assessment of DLTs, overall safety, and tolerability. Dose escalation decisions will be agreed upon between the Investigators and the Sponsor. Prior to initiating each new dose level or expanding an existing dose level, a safety teleconference will be held wherein the Investigator(s) and Sponsor will review patient data, including, but not limited to, demographics, drug dosing, concomitant medications, hematology and serum chemistry, and AEs; and confer and document agreement that dose escalation or expanding an existing dose level is considered appropriate. If the Investigator(s) and Sponsor collectively agree, following review of safety, PK, and PD data, that a different dose escalation scheme (e.g., an intermediate HuAB1 dose of 3 mg/kg alone or in combination with nivolumab) should be used than the one outlined, this will be permitted. Review of safety, PK, and PD parameters may inform decisions to add cohorts with alternative dose levels or dose regimens (e.g., less frequent dosing) in order to reach an optimal target exposure.

DLT evaluation and enrollment decisions will follow the guidance in the Table 2 below:

TABLE 2 Algorithm for Phase 1a dose escalation decisions Number of Patients with DLT at a Given Dose Level Dose Escalation Decision Rule   0/3 Escalation will occur into the next highest dose cohort   1/3 Enroll three more patients in same cohort ≥2/3 Stop enrollment. Enter three more patients at the lower dose level, if only three were previously entered   1/6 Open next cohort ≥2/6 Stop enrollment. Enter three more patients at the lower dose level, if only three were previously entered

Dose escalation will continue in the monotherapy and combination treatment arms until either the MTD or maximum planned dose of HuAB1 is reached, with a minimum of 3 patients enrolled in each cohort.

The MTD is defined as the highest dose associated with DLTs in less than 33% of patients (less than 2 out of 6 patients) receiving HuAB1 or HuAB1+nivolumab combination therapy, administered during the 28-day DLT period. This will normally be the dose recommended for further study; however, based on review of safety, PK, and PD data, the RD could be lower than the MTD. If the MTD is not reached, and the highest evaluated HuAB1 dose alone or in combination with nivolumab is well tolerated, the data will be reviewed to assess whether further dose escalations up to 6 mg/kg HuAB1 are warranted.

If the MTD is not reached during the Phase 1a combination dose escalation, or subsequent cycles of treatment in cleared Phase 1a combination cohorts provide additional insight on the safety profile, an RD may be selected based on overall tolerability, safety, PK, and PD.

If a patient in Phase 1aC does not receive 2 doses of each study drug and does not complete the safety assessment (e.g., safety lab and/or AE reporting) in the 28-day DLT period for reasons other than drug-related AEs (e.g., disease progression or withdrawal of consent), then an additional patient will be enrolled into the cohort so that the cohort has at least three patients evaluable for the DLT period. All such discussions and decisions will be documented as part of the dose escalation decision-making process.

Upon completion of the 28-day DLT period, Phase 1a patients may participate in an Extended Treatment Period following the guidelines in Section 4.1.2.2.

2.1.2.1.1 Dose Limiting Toxicity

A DLT is defined as a study drug-related ≥Grade 3 AE (using National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] v4.03) occurring during the first 28-day DLT period, excluding: Grade 3 tumor flare (defined as local pain, irritation, or rash localized at sites of known or suspected tumor), Grade 3 rash, Grade 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE, defined below) that resolved to a Grade 1 or less within 28 days, or a transient (resolving within 6 hours of onset) Grade 3 infusion-related AE. An irAE is defined as a clinically significant AE that is associated with study drug exposure, of unknown etiology, and is consistent with an immune-mediated mechanism.

2.1.2.2 Phase 1a Extended Treatment Period

Upon completion of the DLT period, patients from the Phase 1aM and 1aC cohorts may participate in an Extended Treatment Period, which begins on Day 1 of Cycle 3 (Study Day 29).

Patients from the Phase 1aM cohorts are allowed to continue to receive HuAB1 monotherapy at the same HuAB1 dose level and patients from the Phase 1aC cohorts are allowed to continue to receive HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab at the same dose levels until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation.

2.1.2.3 Phase 1b Expansion Cohorts

To further characterize safety and efficacy of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab, Phase 1b will enroll up to 8 expansion cohorts in 6 advanced cancer types. Enrollment in Phase 1b will begin when an RD has been identified by the Cohort Review Committee based on overall safety, tolerability, PK, and PD data.

2.1.3 Follow-Up Period

Patients who discontinue treatment while showing clinical benefit (complete response [CR], partial response [PR], or stable disease [SD]) for reasons other than disease progression should have follow-up for tumor assessments and any study drug-related AEs as specified below. The follow-up period begins at the Treatment Completion/Early Termination visit.

Follow-up visits include the following (refer to Section 6 for the full schedule):

Tumor assessments will continue every 12 (±2) weeks.

Review of study drug-related AEs, until these AEs resolve, return to baseline or are stabilized per treating Investigator's assessment. All AEs will be documented for a minimum of 100 days after the last dose OR until any one of the above conditions is met.

During the follow-up period, if the patient undergoes local therapy (e.g., resection, radiation) or a new systemic therapy is initiated, the patient should be followed for survival every 3 months (Section 4.1.4).

2.1.4 Survival Follow-Up

A patient who agrees to survival follow-up after withdrawal from study treatment, discontinues from study drug treatment due to progression of disease, or discontinues follow-up visits described in Section 4.1.3 will be followed every 3 months for survival, or more frequently as needed. Follow-up for survival may be conducted by telephone, rather than a required in-person visit.

2.1.5 Study Duration

Patients who receive study drug(s) may continue as long as they experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator or until unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression as determined by the investigator after an integrated assessment of radiographic data, biopsy results (if available), and clinical status, or withdrawal of consent.

2.1.6 Stopping Rules 2.1.6.1 Stopping Rules for Phase 1a

If 2 or more patients in any dose level experience a DLT within the 28-day DLT evaluation period, the Investigators and Sponsor will review the data and follow the guidelines in Table 2 (Section 4.1.2.1). If dose escalation is terminated due to DLTs, then the evaluated dose below that which the stopping rule was invoked will be declared the MTD.

2.1.6.2 Stopping Rules for All Cohorts

Management of drug-related Grade 4 or 5 toxicities will follow the Adverse Event Management Tables (Appendix E and F).

The Sponsor will discuss such cases with the Cohort Review Committee and the study Investigators as appropriate to determine further enrollment. IRBs will be notified by the Investigators of all cases and decisions regarding continued enrollment.

2.1.6.3 Stopping Rules for Clinical Deterioration

Accumulating clinical evidence indicates that the emergence of objective responses to agents that activate anti-tumor immune responses may follow delayed kinetics of weeks or months, and can be preceded by initial apparent progression of disease with the appearance of new lesions or some enlarging of lesions while certain index lesions are regressing (“mixed response”). It is thus reasonable to allow patients experiencing apparent progression to continue to receive treatment until progression is confirmed at the next imaging assessment (Section 5.3.8). These considerations should be balanced by clinical judgment as to whether the patient is clinically deteriorating and unlikely to receive any benefit from continued treatment.

Such deterioration will be assessed to have occurred after a clinical event that, in the Investigator's opinion, is attributable to disease progression and is unlikely to reverse with continued study treatment and therefore indicates that the patient is not benefiting from study treatment and cannot be managed by the addition of supportive care. The decision to stop treatment should be discussed with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor or designee. Examples of events that may, in the Investigator's opinion, indicate a lack of clinical benefit include, but are not limited to, the following:

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score increase of at least 2 points from baseline (e.g. from 0 to 2).

Habitual changes such as changes in activities and symptoms including reduction in appetite and/or sleep, altered awareness, and increased pain-related symptoms due to cancer.

Progression of disease confirmed by the treating Investigator.

Any setting where the initiation of new anti-neoplastic therapy has been deemed beneficial to the patient even in the absence of any such documented clinical events.

2.2 Study Population

2.2.1 Planned Number of Patients and Study Centers

The total number of patients planned for this study is estimated to be 270; approximately 30 patients in Part 1a and 240 patients in Part 1b (approximately 30 patients for each of the eight Phase 1b cohorts). There will be 65 to 70 study centers participating in this study. During enrollment of any expansion cohort, if the observed number of responses makes it unlikely to achieve a target response rate for that indication (e.g., 10%), then further recruitment to that cohort may be suspended or terminated.

Information on all prior treatments indicated for advanced cancer, including chemotherapy, biochemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, surgery, biologic, and experimental therapy will be collected.

No concomitant medication information will be collected following patient discontinuation from the study except for concomitant medication use associated with study drug-related AEs or AEs that lead to discontinuation from the study.

2.3.1 Prohibited and/or Restricted Treatments

The following medications are prohibited during the study (unless utilized to treat a drug-related AE or specified in the eligibility section):

Immunosuppressive Agents

Immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses >10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease. Steroids are also permitted to treat tumor-related AEs as clinically indicated.

Vaccines Except as Noted in Section 4.3.2

Statins for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Statins will be allowed only if the patient is on a stable dose for over 3 months prior to the study and is in stable status without any CK elevations

Other therapies including biologic, immunotherapy, extensive non-palliative radiation therapy, standard treatments, or investigational agents or devices

2.3.2 Permitted Therapy

Patients are permitted to use of topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids (with minimal systemic absorption). Adrenal replacement steroid doses >10 mg daily prednisone are permitted. A brief (less than 3 weeks) course of corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast dye allergy) or for treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by a contact allergen) and also for the treatment of tumor-related AE is permitted.

Concomitant palliative and supportive care for disease-related symptoms (including bisphosphonates and RANK-L inhibitors) is allowed if initiated prior to first dose of study drug administration. Transfusions are permitted as needed.

The inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine can be given to subjects while on therapy without restriction. Influenza vaccines containing live virus or other clinically indicated vaccinations for infectious diseases (i.e., pneumovax, varicella, etc.) may be permitted; but must be discussed with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor and may require a study drug washout period prior to and after administration of the vaccine.

Concomitant use of statins will be allowed only if the patient is on a stable dose for over 3 months prior to the study and is in stable status without any CK elevations.

No routine premedication will be administered for initial HuAB1 and nivolumab doses. If a patient develops nausea, vomiting, or other infusion-related AEs, the patient may be pre-medicated with anti-emetics, steroids, or antihistamines prior to subsequent infusions of study drugs at the discretion of the Investigator. The treatment will be administered according to the institution's standard practice, and should be captured on the patient's CRY.

2.4 Discontinuation of Patients Following any Treatment with Study Drug

Patients MUST discontinue study drugs for any of the following reasons:

Withdrawal of informed consent (patient's decision to withdraw for any reason)

Any clinical significant AE, abnormal laboratory test results or intercurrent illness which, in the opinion of the Investigator, indicates that continued participation in the study is not in the best interest of the patient

Patients who are required to have prohibited concomitant medications

Pregnancy

Termination of the study by the Sponsor

Loss of ability to freely provide consent through imprisonment or involuntary incarceration for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (e.g., infectious disease) illness

Documented disease progression or clinical deterioration while receiving active study therapy

Non-compliance by the patient

All patients who discontinue study treatment should comply with protocol specified follow-up procedures as outlined in Section 6. The only exception to this requirement is when a patient withdraws consent for all study procedures or loses the ability to consent freely (i.e., is imprisoned or involuntarily incarcerated for the treatment of either a psychiatric or physical illness).

If a patient was withdrawn before completing the study, the reason for withdrawal must be entered on the appropriate CRF. The date and reason for cessation of HuAB1 and/or nivolumab will be documented, and the Investigator must make every effort to perform the Treatment Completion/Early Termination visit procedures. Patients will be followed for 100 days after the last dose of HuAB1 for safety and those with ongoing SAEs will be followed until either resolution or stabilization.

2.5 Post-Treatment Follow Up

Patients who discontinue treatment while still receiving clinical benefit (i.e., CR, PR or SD) should get follow-up tumor scans per-protocol to determine the duration of response, unless consent is withdrawn.

3.1 Investigational Products

An investigational product, also known as investigational medicinal product in some regions, is defined as a pharmaceutical form of an active substance or placebo being tested or used as a reference in a clinical study, including products already with a marketing authorization but used or assembled (formulated or packaged) differently than the authorized form, or used for an unauthorized indication, or when used to gain further information about the authorized form. In this protocol, the investigational products are HuAB1 and nivolumab.

3.2 Study Drug Dosing and Dose Modification

3.2.1 Dosing

For the combination therapy, nivolumab should always be administered first as a 30-minute IV infusion, with a 30-minute rest between 2 infusions, followed by HuAB1 30-minute infusion. Patients may be dosed no less than 12 days from the previous dose.

For the 4 mg/kg monotherapy cohort (1aM2) and combination dose escalation cohorts 1aC2 and 1aC3, the dose interval between the first and second patients in each cohort should be at least 24 hours for safety monitoring.

Dosing calculations should be based on the body weight assessed at Cycle 1 Day 1 prior to the first dose of study drug administration. It is not necessary to re-calculate subsequent doses if the patient's weight is within 10% of the weight used to calculate the previous dose. All doses should be rounded to the nearest milligram.

Patients should be carefully monitored for infusion reactions during study drug administration. If an acute infusion reaction is noted, patients should be managed according to the guidelines in Section 5.3.10 and Appendix E and F.

Doses of study drugs may be interrupted, delayed, or discontinued depending on how well the patient tolerates the treatment.

All vials are for single use only. Further instructions on study drug preparation and administration will be provided in the Pharmacy Manual.

3.2.1.1 Nivolumab Dosing

Patients in combination therapy cohorts will receive the nivolumab infusion first at a dose of 3 mg/kg as a 30-minute IV infusion, on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle.

There will be no dose escalations or reductions of nivolumab allowed. Patients may be dosed no less than 12 days from the previous dose. There are no pre-medications recommended for nivolumab on the first cycle. Refer to the nivolumab IB for preparation and handling instructions.

3.2.1.2 HuAB1 Dosing

For patients in the combination therapy cohorts, the HuAB1 infusion will be administered 30 minutes after the end of the nivolumab infusion as a 30-minute IV infusion, on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle. For patients in the monotherapy cohorts, the HuAB1 infusion can be initiated at any time as a 30-minute IV infusion on Day 1 of each 14-day treatment cycle.

HuAB1 dosing may be modified based on toxicities noted during the treatment period. If necessary, the dose will be adjusted based on the toxicity-modification table (Appendices E and F).

A research pharmacist (or other responsible personnel) will prepare the solution for administration. After calculating the number of vials, based on the patient's weight, the study drug product will be diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Prepared HuAB1 should be administered within 6 hours after preparation (ambient temperature). The IV administration setup for HuAB1 infusion must contain a 0.22 μm in-line filter or a 0.22 μm syringe filter. HuAB1 will be administered under medical supervision as a 30 minute (±5 minutes) IV infusion via a peripheral vein or central venous catheter. No incompatibilities between HuAB1 infusion and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene/propylene IV components, or glass bottles have been observed.

3.2.2 Dose Delay for HuAB1 and Nivolumab

Administration of HuAB1 in monotherapy or HuAB1/nivolumab in combination therapy should be delayed for the following:

Any Grade 3 fatigue which does not resolve to Grade 1 or baseline before the next treatment visit

Any Grade 2 or 3 drug-related laboratory abnormalities would not require a dose delay unless clinically indicated or specified in the protocol or Adverse Event Management table. Please discuss with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor or designee as needed.

For dose delays or modifications for all other AEs please refer to the AE Management tables in Appendix E.

Patients who require a dose delay of HuAB1 or HuAB1+nivolumab should be re-evaluated weekly or more frequently if clinically indicated and resume study drug dosing when re-treatment criteria are met.

If a patient experiences an infusion reaction to HuAB1, or nivolumab, or both study drugs, the infusion reaction should be treated following the infusion reaction treatment guidelines in Section 5.3.10 and Appendix E and F.

3.2.3 Criteria to Resume Treatment with HuAB1 and Nivolumab

Patients may resume treatment with HuAB1 or HuAB1+nivolumab when the drug-related AE(s) resolve(s) to Grade 1 or baseline as noted in the AE management tables in Appendices E and F.

3.2.4 Dose Reduction with HuAB1

Dose reductions for HuAB1 may be permitted for patients on prolonged treatment beyond the DLT period in Phase 1a or any patient in Phase 1b per the guidelines in the appropriate AE management tables in Appendices E and F. If dose reductions or interruptions that do not fall within these guidelines are being considered by the Investigator, these will require discussion with and approval by the Sponsor, or designee.

3.2.5 Dose Discontinuation Criteria for HuAB1 and Nivolumab

Treatment of HuAB1 in monotherapy or HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab should be permanently discontinued for the following:

Any Grade 2 drug-related uveitis, eye pain or blurred vision that does not respond to topical therapy and does not improve to Grade 1 within the second re-treatment period OR that requires systemic treatment

Any Grade 3 or higher infusion related reactions and hypersensitivity requiring discontinuation and re-initiation of therapy will require consultation with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor or designee.

Any Grade 3 non-skin, drug-related AE lasting >7 days, including drug-related uveitis, pneumonitis, hypoxia, bronchospasm, and endocrinopathies with the following exceptions:

Grade 3 drug-related endocrinopathies adequately controlled with only physiologic hormone replacement do not require discontinuation

Grade 3 drug-related laboratory abnormalities do not require treatment discontinuation except:

Grade 3 drug-related thrombocytopenia >7 days or associated with Grade ≥2 bleeding requires discontinuation

Any drug-related liver function test (LFT) abnormality that meets the following criteria requires discontinuation:

AST or ALT 10×ULN

Total bilirubin >3×ULN (>5×ULN with concurrent liver metastases)

AST or ALT >3×ULN AND total bilirubin >2×ULN, in the absence of a concurrent increase of alkaline phosphatase

Any Grade 4 drug-related AE or laboratory abnormality, except for the following events which do not require discontinuation:

Grade 4 neutropenia □ 7 days

Grade 4 lymphopenia or leukopenia □ 7 days

Isolated Grade 4 amylase or lipase abnormalities that are not associated with symptoms or clinical manifestations of pancreatitis. The Sponsor's Medical Monitor should be consulted for Grade 4 amylase or lipase abnormalities.

Isolated Grade 4 electrolyte imbalances/abnormalities that are not associated with clinical sequelae and are corrected with supplementation/appropriate management within 72 hours of their onset

Grade 4 drug-related endocrinopathy AEs, such as adrenal insufficiency, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency, hyper- or hypothyroidism, or glucose intolerance, which resolve or are adequately controlled with physiologic hormone replacement (corticosteroids, thyroid hormones) or glucose-controlling agents, respectively, may not require discontinuation after discussion with and approval from the Sponsor's Medical Monitor.

Any event that leads to delay in dosing lasting >6 weeks from the previous dose requires discontinuation, with the following exceptions:

Dosing delays to allow for prolonged steroid tapers to manage drug-related adverse events are allowed. Prior to re-initiating treatment in a patient with a dosing delay lasting >6 weeks from the previous dose, the Sponsor's Medical Monitor must be consulted. Tumor assessments should continue as per-protocol even if dosing is delayed. Periodic study visits to assess safety and laboratory studies should also continue per protocol, or more frequently if clinically indicated during such dosing delays or per the Investigator's discretion

Dosing delays lasting >6 weeks from the previous dose that occur for non-drug-related reasons may be allowed if approved by the Sponsor's Medical Monitor. Prior to re-initiating treatment in a patient with a dosing delay lasting >6 weeks, the Sponsor's Medical Monitor must be consulted. Tumor assessments should continue per protocol every 8 weeks even if dosing is delayed. Periodic study visits to assess safety and laboratory studies should also continue per-protocol or more frequently if clinically indicated during such dosing delays or per the Investigator's discretion.

Any AE, laboratory abnormality, or intercurrent illness which, in the judgment of the Investigator, presents a substantial clinical risk to the patient with continued HuAB1 and/or nivolumab dosing

Any Grade 3 or higher neurological toxicity

Any Grade 3 or higher periorbital edema and persistent Grade 2 periorbital edema requiring 2 missed doses unless approved by Sponsor's Medical Monitor

Any Grade 3 or higher drug-related diarrhea or colitis interfering with activities of daily living.

Any Grade 3 or 4 skin toxicity

Any Grade 3 or higher uveitis

If the causality of the adverse event requiring discontinuation is confirmed to be due to one of the study drugs in the combination therapy, the other drug may be continued per protocol schedule under the following scenarios:

Timely resolution of the adverse event based on the treatment modification table

Clinical benefit is shown by the subject based on Investigator assessment

3.2.6 Infusion Delays and Missed Doses with HuAB1 and Nivolumab

In the case that an infusion cannot be administered at a scheduled visit, it must be administered as soon as possible. If the delay is between 1 and 3 days, the procedures at the original scheduled visit should be performed. If the delay is more than 3 days, the procedures at the next visit should be performed, and subsequent visits will be reset to follow a 2-week dosing interval (the infusion at the original scheduled visit will be considered a missed dose). The time between two treatment cycles should be no less than 12 days.

Patients may miss up to 2 consecutive doses (up to 6 weeks between doses) and may resume the study drug if the event returns to baseline or ≤Grade 1 within 6 weeks of treatment interruption. Omission of additional dosing longer than 6 weeks for AEs will necessitate the patient's discontinuation from the study unless allowed by the Sponsor. Patients may miss doses in the course of participation in the study, including missed doses for scheduled vacations or other personal reasons as needed, but not more than 2 doses sequentially unless approved by the Sponsor's Medical Monitor.

3.2.7 Intra-Patient Dose Escalation with HuAB1 and Nivolumab

Intra-patient dose escalation is not allowed for nivolumab or HuAB1.

3.2.8 Treatment Beyond Disease Progression with HuAB1 and Nivolumab

Accumulating evidence indicates a minority of patients treated with immunotherapy may derive clinical benefit despite initial evidence of progressive disease (Wolchok, 2009)

Patients treated with HuAB1 and nivolumab will be permitted to continue HuAB1 and nivolumab treatment beyond initial RECIST v1.1 defined progressive disease, assessed by the Investigator, as long as the following criteria are met:

Patients who will be treated beyond disease progression must review and sign an ICF before continuing on study drug

Investigator-assessed clinical benefit, and do not have rapid disease progression

Tolerance of study drugs

Stable performance status

Treatment beyond progression will not delay an imminent intervention to prevent serious complications of disease progression (e.g., CNS metastases)

A radiographic assessment/scan should be performed approximately 8 weeks after initial Investigator-assessed progression to determine whether there has been a decrease in the tumor size or continued progressive disease. The assessment of clinical benefit should be balanced by clinical judgment as to whether the patient is clinically deteriorating and unlikely to receive any benefit from continued treatment with HuAB1 and nivolumab.

If the Investigator feels that the HuAB1 and nivolumab patient continues to achieve clinical benefit by continuing treatment, the patient should remain on the trial and continue to receive monitoring according to the time and event schedules per protocol.

For the patients who continue nivolumab study therapy beyond progression, further progression is defined as an additional 10% increase in tumor burden from time of initial progression. This includes an increase in the sum of diameters of all target lesions and/or the diameters of new measurable lesions compared to the time of initial progression. HuAB1 and nivolumab treatment should be discontinued permanently upon documentation of further progression.

Assessment for new lesions will follow guidelines in RECIST v1.1 (Appendix G).

3.2.9 Dose Modification Algorithms for Immuno-Oncology Agents

Immuno-oncology agents are associated with AEs that can differ in severity and duration compared to AEs caused by other therapeutic classes. HuAB1 and nivolumab are considered immuno-oncology agents in this protocol. Early recognition and management of AEs associated with immuno-oncology agents may mitigate severe toxicity. Management algorithms have been developed to assist Investigators in assessing and managing the following classes of AEs:

Gastrointestinal

Renal

Pulmonary

Hepatic

Endocrinopathy

Skin

Neurological

Infusion reaction

Periorbital edema

Uveitis

3.2.10 Treatment of HuAB1 and Nivolumab Related Infusion Reactions

HuAB1 and nivolumab may induce infusion or hypersensitivity reactions. If such a reaction were to occur, it may manifest with fever, chills, rigors, headache, rash, pruritus, arthralgia, hypo- or hypertension, bronchospasm, or other symptoms.

Infusion reactions should be graded according to CTCAE v4.03 guidelines. Any Grade 3 or 4 infusion reaction should be reported within 24 hours to the study Medical Monitor and reported as an SAE if it meets the criteria.

The nivolumab infusion will be administered first, with a 30-minute rest between the 2 infusions, followed by HuAB1 30-minute infusion. It may be unclear if an infusion reaction is due to HuAB1, nivolumab, or to both study drugs. Therefore, one set of treatment recommendations (based on the most conservative treatments for infusion reactions due to either study drug) is provided below and may be modified based on clinical judgment, local treatment standards and guidelines, and/or specific symptoms, as appropriate:

For Grade 1 symptoms: (Mild reaction [e.g., localized cutaneous reactions including mild pruritus, flushing, rash], requires infusion rate to be decreased; intervention may be indicated.)

Decrease the rate of the study drug infusion until recovery from symptoms.

Remain at bedside and monitor the patient's vital signs until resolution of symptoms. Diphenhydramine 50 mg may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician.

When symptoms resolve, restart the infusion at the original infusion rate.

If a patient has an infusion reaction with nivolumab, HuAB1 can be given (without prophylactic medications) if the infusion reaction resolves within 3 hours. For scheduling purposes, HuAB1 infusion may be given the next day. Prophylactic pre-infusion medications should be given prior to all subsequent nivolumab infusions.

If a patient has an infusion reaction with HuAB1, prophylactic pre-infusion medications should be given prior to all subsequent HuAB1 and nivolumab infusions.

The following prophylactic pre-infusion medications are recommended prior to future infusions of HuAB1 and nivolumab: diphenhydramine 50 mg (or equivalent) and/or paracetamol (acetaminophen) 325 to 1000 mg at least 30 minutes before additional study drug administrations.

For Grade 2 symptoms: (Moderate reaction [i.e., any symptom not listed above (mild symptoms) or below (severe symptoms) such as generalized pruritus, flushing, rash, dyspnea, hypotension with systolic blood pressure >80 mmHg], requires infusion interruption but responds promptly to symptomatic treatment [e.g., antihistamines, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, narcotics, corticosteroids, IV fluids]; prophylactic pre-infusion medications indicated for ≤24 hours.)

Interrupt the study drug infusion.

Begin an IV infusion of normal saline, and treat the patient with diphenhydramine 50 mg IV (or equivalent) and/or paracetamol (acetaminophen) 325 to 1000 mg.

Remain at bedside and monitor the patient's vital signs until resolution of symptoms.

Corticosteroid therapy may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician.

When symptoms resolve, restart the infusion at 50% of the original infusion rate; if no further complications ensue after 30 minutes, the rate may be increased to 100% of the original infusion rate.

Monitor the patient closely. If symptoms recur, immediately discontinue the infusion; no further study drug will be administered at that visit. Administer diphenhydramine 50 mg IV, and remain at bedside and monitor the patient until resolution of symptoms.

If a patient has an infusion reaction with nivolumab infusion, HuAB1 infusion can be given (without prophylactic medications) if the infusion reaction resolves within 3 hours. For scheduling purposes, the HuAB1 infusion may be given the next day. Prophylactic pre-infusion medications should be given prior to all subsequent nivolumab infusions.

If a patient has an infusion reaction with HuAB1, prophylactic pre-infusion medications should be given prior to all subsequent HuAB1 and nivolumab infusions.

The following prophylactic pre-infusion medications are recommended prior to future infusions of HuAB1 and nivolumab: diphenhydramine 50 mg (or equivalent) and/or paracetamol (acetaminophen) 325 to 1000 mg should be administered at least 30 minutes before additional study drug administrations. If necessary, corticosteroids (up to 25 mg of SoluCortef or equivalent) may be used.

The amount of study drug infused must be recorded.

For Grade 3 or Grade 4 symptoms: (Severe reaction such as bronchospasm, generalized urticaria, systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg, or angioedema; Grade 3 symptoms including prolonged symptom, which requires 6 or more hours to respond to symptomatic medication and/or discontinuation of infusion; recurrence of symptoms following initial improvement; hospitalization indicated for other clinical sequelae, such as renal impairment, pulmonary infiltrates; Grade 4: life-threatening; pressor or ventilation support indicated.)

Immediately discontinue the study drug infusion. No further study drug will be administered. The amount of study drug infused must be recorded on the CRF.

Begin an IV infusion of normal saline, and treat the patient as follows: Recommend bronchodilators, epinephrine 0.2 to 1.0 mg of a 1:1,000 solution for subcutaneous administration or 0.1 to 0.25 mg of a 1:10,000 solution injected slowly for IV administration, and/or diphenhydramine 50 mg IV with methylprednisolone 100 mg IV (or equivalent), as needed.

Remain at bedside and monitor the patient's vital signs until recovery from symptoms.

The patient should be monitored until the Investigator is comfortable that the symptoms will not recur.

Investigators should follow their institutional guidelines for the treatment of anaphylaxis.

In the case of late-occurring hypersensitivity symptoms (e.g., appearance of a localized or generalized pruritus within 1 week after treatment), symptomatic treatment may be given (e.g., oral antihistamine, or corticosteroids).

3.3 Method of Assigning Patient Identification

Patients must be able to provide written informed consent and meet all eligibility criteria. No waivers of inclusion or exclusion criteria will be granted by Sponsor or its designee for any patient enrolled in the study. Before enrolling a patient, all eligibility criteria must be satisfied.

Patients who qualify for Phase 1a of the study will be enrolled as follows:

Three patients in the Phase 1aM1 monotherapy cohort will be enrolled first to be treated with 2 mg/kg HuAB1 every 14 days during the 28-day DLT period.

Once the above monotherapy cohort is fully enrolled, a cohort (1aC1) of 3 new patients will be enrolled to be treated with 1 mg/kg HuAB1 in combination with 3 mg/kg nivolumab every 14 days during the 28-day DLT period.

Dose escalation into the 4 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort (1aM2) will proceed once the DLT period is cleared in the 2 mg/kg HuAB1 monotherapy cohort (1aM1).

Dose escalation into increasing dose levels of HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab will proceed until DLTs are observed either in the HuAB1 monotherapy or the HuAB1 in combination with nivolumab cohorts after discussion and agreement between the participating Investigators and Sponsor's Medical Monitor.

In Phase 1b, approximately 30 patients will be enrolled per cohort. Enrollment will be open for all cohorts in parallel and will continue until the enrollment target is reached. Once a cohort is filled, further enrollment will be restricted to the cohort(s) that have not been filled. A total of approximately 240 patients will be enrolled in the Phase 1b arm of the study.

The Investigator may repeat qualifying lab tests and vitals/ECGs prior to enrollment if a non-qualifying finding is considered an error or an acute finding is likely to meet eligibility criteria upon repeat testing.

3.4 Blinding/Unblinding

This is an open-label study and there will be no blinding or unblinding of patients during this study.

4.2.4 Follow-Up and Survival Follow-Up for all Patients

After the Study Treatment Discontinuation Visit, each ongoing AE should be followed until the event has resolved to baseline grade, the event is assessed by the Investigator as stable, the patient is lost to follow-up, the patient withdraws consent, or when it has been determined that the study treatment is not the cause of the AE.

The occurrence of SAEs will be collected until 100 days after the last dose of study treatment or until resolved. Thereafter, only SAEs determined by the Investigator to be related to the study treatment will be collected.

In addition, serum will also be collected 100 days after last dose to analyze for HuAB1 PK, HuAB1 ADA, and nivolumab ADA.

Patients who have discontinued study treatment for reasons other than disease progression will continue to undergo tumor assessments approximately every 8 weeks (±2 weeks) from Study Treatment Discontinuation Visit until disease progression.

After the Study Treatment Discontinuation Visit, all patients (regardless of reason for discontinuation) will have anti-cancer therapies recorded and will be followed for survival every 3 months until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study termination by the Sponsor.

For patients who withdraw their consent from the study but agree to participate in the survival follow-up, only survival information will be collected every 3 months.

4.3 Study Assessments 4.3.1 Safety Assessments

At baseline, a medical history will be obtained to capture relevant underlying conditions. The baseline examinations should include weight, height, ECOG Performance Status (Appendix G), ECG, blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), temperature, and oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry at rest (also monitor amount of supplemental oxygen, if applicable) within 28 days prior to first dose.

Safety assessments including serum hematology, chemistry, ECOG, weight and other assessments including ECG (if clinically indicated) will be done as part of standard care during each visit prior to dosing as noted in Appendices A, B, and C. The patient will also be monitored for any infusion-related AEs during dosing and followed up accordingly based on protocol guidelines. Pre-medications including steroids, antihistamines or other treatments will be given prior to future dosing if the patient develops infusion reactions per protocol guidelines.

Any patient who has received study drug will be evaluated for safety. Toxicity assessments will be continuous during the treatment phase and follow-up visits in-person.

Once patients reach the survival follow-up phase, documented telephone calls/email correspondence to assess the patient's status are acceptable.

AEs and laboratory values will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03

Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry at rest (also monitor amount of supplemental oxygen, if applicable) should be assessed at each on-study visit prior to dosing. If a patient shows changes on pulse oximetry or other pulmonary-related signs (hypoxia, fever) or symptoms (e.g. dyspnea, cough, fever) consistent with possible pulmonary AEs, the patient should be immediately evaluated to rule out pulmonary toxicity, according to the suspected pulmonary toxicity management table in Appendix E.

Physical examinations are to be performed as clinically indicated. If there are any new or worsening clinically significant changes since the last exam, report changes on the appropriate non-serious AE or SAE page.

Additional measures, including non-study required laboratory tests, should be performed as clinically indicated or to comply with local regulations. Laboratory toxicities (e.g., suspected drug induced liver enzyme evaluations) will be monitored during the follow-up phase via on site/local labs until all study drug-related toxicities resolve, return to baseline, or are deemed stable.

Some of the assessments referred to in this section may not be captured as data in the CRF. They are intended to be used as safety monitoring by the treating physician. Additional testing or assessments may be performed as clinically necessary or where required by institutional or local regulations.

4.3.2 Efficacy Assessments 4.3.2.1 Primary Efficacy Parameters

The primary efficacy parameter is the objective response rate (ORR; number of patients with confirmed response of CR or PR, divided by the total number of treated patients with measurable disease at baseline). Tumor response status will be assessed using RECIST v1.1 (Appendix F). Independent review of tumor assessments may be requested at the discretion of the Sponsor.

4.3.2.2 Additional Efficacy Parameters

Additional efficacy parameters may include the following: Overall Survival (OS, 1-year OS, and median OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR) for those patients with confirmed responses, based on RECIST v1.1.

CT/MRI (chest, abdomen, pelvis, and brain) will be performed at Screening, during the treatment and at the end of study/early termination per protocol. Measurements of change in tumor burden must be reviewed and documented after each measurement.

4.3.2.3 Tumor Biopsy

Biopsy at the primary tumor site will be collected at screening and also at 29 days on-treatment (prior to Cycle 3, Day 1) for all Phase 1a patients and 10 patients per cohort in Phase 1b. Patients in the Phase 1a portion of the study will also have post-treatment biopsy upon documented tumor progression. This post-progression biopsy will be optional for patients in Phase 1b. Biopsies will be assessed for tumor associated leukocytes, tumor proliferation, and cell death markers.

4.3.3 Pharmacokinetic Assessments

Blood samples for the PK evaluation of both HuAB1 and nivolumab will be collected from all patients (Phase 1a and 1b).

Blood samples will be collected for measurement of serum HuAB1 concentration during Cycle 1 on Days 1, 2, 4, and 8. Blood samples will be collected both before and at the end of the infusion for Cycle 2. In addition, blood samples will be collected at the end of the infusion for Cycle 8 and before the infusion on Cycles 3, 5, 9, 13, and 21. A blood sample will also be collected for PK analysis 100 days post-last dose and at the Treatment Completion/Early Termination visit.

Patients enrolled in dose escalation of phase 1a and phase 1b will have blood sampling for measurement of serum nivolumab concentration both before and at the end of infusion for Cycle 1. In addition, blood samples will be collected prior to infusion of Cycles 2, 3, 5, 9, 13, and 21. A blood sample will also be collected for PK analysis 100 days post-last dose and at the Treatment Completion/Early Termination visit.

Standard PK parameters will be determined based on serum HuAB1 concentration-time data, as appropriate. Potential pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction between HuAB1 and nivolumab will be evaluated.

4.3.3.1 Pharmacokinetic Collection and Processing

Blood samples will be collected and processed for serum according to the instructions provided in a separate Laboratory Manual.

4.3.3.2 Pharmacokinetic Sample Analysis

HuAB1 concentration in serum will be determined in serum using a validated ELISA method. Nivolumab concentration in serum will be determined in serum using a validated ECLA method.

4.3.4 Immunogenicity Assessments

Blood samples will be collected before the infusion on Cycles 1, 2, 3, 5, 13, and 21, at 100 days post-last dose and at the Treatment Completion/Early Termination visit to measure ADA for HuAB1 and nivolumab. ADA for HuAB1 in serum will be measured by a validated bridging ECLA that utilizes Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) technology. ADA for nivolumab in serum will be measured by a validated ECLA method.

4.3.5 Biomarker Assessments

A variety of factors that could potentially predict clinical response to the combination of HuAB1 and nivolumab will be investigated in all peripheral blood and in tumor specimens taken from patients prior to and during treatment. Data from these investigations will be evaluated for associations with response and/or safety (AE) data. In addition, analyses of markers between the treatment arms will provide the necessary data to identify and validate biomarkers with predictive vs prognostic value. Complete instructions on the collection, processing, handling and shipment of all samples described herein will be provided in a Biomarker Manual.

4.3.5.1 Tumor Tissue Specimens

Tumor tissue specimens in the form of a paraffin embedded block or unstained slides will be submitted for central IHC assessment. These biopsy samples should be excisional, incisional or core needle as fine needle aspirates or other cytology specimens are insufficient for downstream biomarker analyses. Tissue samples are being collected to evaluate the PD effect of study drugs on the tumor microenvironment. These samples may also undergo gene sequencing to determine the effect of study drugs on gene pathways as well as identified gene signatures associated with resistance to response. These analyses may help predict future response to treatment. A summary of analyses to be performed are described in Appendix D.

Tumor biopsy specimens will be obtained before treatment, as well as on-treatment, to examine immune infiltrates and expression of selected tumor markers. The tumor tissue that is obtained from these samples will be divided as appropriate between a fresh frozen sample to be used for gene expression analysis, and a formalin fixed sample to be used for IHC.

Stained tissue sections will be submitted to the central lab, where they will be assessed by a pathologist and scored for PD-L1 positivity.

Samples may be assessed for the expression of immune or disease related genes, RNAs and/or proteins, as well as for the presence of immune cell populations using a variety of methodologies inclusive of, but not limited to IHC, qRT-PCR, genetic mutation detection and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Other methods of tumor biomarker expression are being evaluated.

4.3.5.2 Serum

Blood samples for exploratory serum biomarker analyses will be drawn at the time points indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (Appendices A, B, and C). Blood samples will be processed to collect serum and then put in frozen storage prior to analysis. In addition to the PK and ADA analyses mentioned above, serum samples will be analyzed to determine the PD effect of study drugs on cytokine and CSF1R ligand concentrations. Samples may be assessed by ELISA, seromics and/or other relevant multiplex-based protein assay methods. Serum marker analyses may also help establish a biomarker signature that may predict benefit or correlate with efficacy that can be used to inform this and future studies. Timings of sample collection are listed in Appendix C and analyses to be performed are described in Appendix D.

4.3.5.3 Whole Blood for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Assessment

Whole blood samples for exploratory pharmacogenetic assessment will be collected from all patients and put in frozen storage prior to analysis. Genomic DNA will be extracted and subsequently assessed for single nucleotide polymorphisms and other genetic variations in candidate genes that may predispose patients to benefit or AEs. Additional use of these data may include correlative analyses aimed at identifying genotypic associations with clinically-relevant biomarkers identified by other methodologies described in this section.

4.3.5.4 Flow Cytometry

Pre-treatment and on-treatment samples will be analyzed by flow cytometry to study the effects of HuAB1 and nivolumab on various peripheral blood immune cell subsets. Whole blood samples will be assessed to confirm the predicted PD effect of HuAB1 on the reduction of CD16⁺ monocytes. PBMC samples will be analyzed to determine whether blockade of PD-1 combined with CSF1R targeting will impact peripheral T cell activation and function. PBMC samples may be assessed for the levels of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and for monocyte phenotype. Timings of sample collection are listed in Appendix C and analyses to be performed are described in Appendix D.

4.3.5.5 Gene Expression Profiling

Alterations in the pattern of gene expression in tumor samples will be assessed, using RNA sequencing and qPCR, with particular emphasis on pathways of immune function. All samples collected will be stored, and may be used for subsequent research relevant to tumor immune response.

5 STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

All analyses will be descriptive and will be presented by dose group and overall as appropriate. Data collected in this study will be presented using summary tables and patient data listings. Continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics, specifically the mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. Categorical variables will be summarized by frequencies and percentages.

5.1 Sample Size Determination

Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in Phase 1a (dose escalation); between 3 and 6 patients are expected to be treated at each dose escalation cohort according to the algorithm outlined in FIG. 6 . Table 5 summarizes the probability of escalating to the next dose cohort for various true DLT rates.

TABLE 5 Probability of Dose Escalation and Dose Limiting Toxicities True DLT rate 1% 5% 10% 30% 50% Probability of 0.999 0.973 0.906 0.494 0.172 dose escalation

Objective Response Rate is the primary efficacy variable for the Phase 1 portion of the study. With approximately 30 patients in each disease type, the 95% confidence interval half-width for the corresponding response rate would be within 18%.

5.4 Analyses 5.4.1 Demographics and Baseline Characteristics

Demographic data, medical history, other baseline characteristics, concomitant disease, and concomitant medication will be summarized by cohort and overall. To determine whether the criteria for study conduct are met, corresponding tables and listings will be provided. These will include an assessment of protocol deviations, study drug accountability, and other data that may impact the general conduct of the study.

5.4.2 Efficacy Analyses

For each disease type, response to treatment will be summarized by ORR, defined as the ratio of the number of patients that achieve an objective response to the number of patients enrolled. Exact confidence interval will be constructed for the response rate. Overall Survival, survival at 1 year, and median survival will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The corresponding confidence interval will also be presented.

5.4.3 Safety Analyses

Safety analyses will be performed for patients included in the safety population. AEs, clinical laboratory information, vital signs, ECOG performance status, weight, and ECGs will be tabulated and summarized.

AEs will be summarized overall and with separate summaries for SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, AEs leading to death, and NCI-CTCAE version 4.03 Grade 3 or higher AEs.

Weight and vital signs will be summarized descriptively (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum). ECOG performance status will be summarized categorically and descriptively.

Shift tables displaying patient counts and percentages classified by baseline grade and maximum grade on treatment will be provided for laboratory data by cohort and overall. A marked laboratory change is defined as a shift from a baseline Grade 0 to Grade 3 (non-hematologic) or Grade 4 (hematologic) on treatment, or a shift from a baseline Grade 1 to Grade 4 on treatment. The number and percentage of patients with marked laboratory changes will be tabulated by cohort and overall.

5.4.4 Pharmacokinetic Analyses

Individual and mean serum concentration of HuAB1 and nivolumab versus time data will be plotted by dose level. Summary statistics will be tabulated for the serum concentration-time data and estimated PK parameters of HuAB1, as appropriate. Potential PK drug-drug interaction between HuAB1 and nivolumab will be evaluated.

For HuAB1, PK parameters including C_(max), AUC, C_(trough), CL, and V_(ss) will be estimated. Other PK parameters as well as inter-patient variability, HuAB1 accumulation and dose proportionality will be evaluated when data are available. PK data (HuAB1 and/or nivolumab) collected from this study may be used in combination with other studies for exposure-response or population PK modeling, which will be part of a separate report.

5.4.5 Immunogenicity

A listing will be provided of all available immunogenicity data for both HuAB1 and nivolumab. Additionally, a listing of immunogenicity data from those patients with at least one positive ADA at any time point will be provided by dose level. The frequency of patients with at least one positive ADA assessment, and frequency of patients who develop ADA after a negative baseline assessment will be provided by dose. To examine the potential relationship between immunogenicity and safety, the frequency and type of AEs of special interest may be examined by overall immunogenicity status. Associations between pre-dose concentrations of HuAB1 or nivolumab and corresponding ADA assessments may be explored.

5.4.6 Biomarker Analyses

To assess the PD effects of HuAB1 and nivolumab on various exploratory biomarkers (such as soluble factors, peripheral blood immune cell subsets, and other markers as assessed by IHC) summary statistics for these markers and their changes (or percent changes) from baseline will be tabulated by visit and dose. In addition, the time course of exploratory biomarker outcomes will be investigated graphically, by summary plots or individual patient plots over time. Patterns of change in these biomarker values over time and how the patterns differed among dose levels may be additionally investigated using appropriate modeling, for example, by linear mixed effects models.

Possible associations of biomarker measures with clinical efficacy measures including OS will be investigated based on data availability. Methods such as, but not limited to, logistic regression may be used to further investigate such associations.

If, at the time of database lock for the primary and secondary endpoints, biomarker data related to the exploratory objectives are not available, these biomarker analyses results may not be included in the CSR but reported separately.

Selected Serum Marker Expression:

Analyses of expression are descriptive in nature and intended to examine the distribution of expression and assess potential associations between expression and efficacy measures. If there is an indication of a meaningful association, future work will evaluate expression as a predictive biomarker, including selection of an optimal expression cut-off to classify patients as positive or negative. Cut-off selection and validation will be conducted across studies and reported outside of individual CSRs. Additionally, analyses detailed below may be reported outside of the CSR in order to ensure the integrity of any potential validation analyses using data from this study.

The following analyses will be performed:

Listing of selected biomarker data

Summary of tumor specimen acquisition and characteristics

Summary statistics of expression by select subgroups, and overall

Box plot of expression by treatment group and overall

OS curves for each treatment group will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product limit method for each Expression Quartile subgroup and for the subgroup of patients with an unknown or indeterminate IHC result. Expression quartiles will be defined based on overall population. Two-sided, 95% confidence intervals for median OS will be computed by Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

Investigator-determined PFS curves for each treatment group will be estimated using the KM product-limit method for each Expression Quartile subgroup and for the subgroup of patients with an unknown or indeterminate IHC result. Expression quartiles will be defined based on overall population. Two-sided, 95% confidence intervals for median PFS will be computed by Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

Investigator-determined ORRs will be computed by treatment group along with exact 95% CIs using the Clopper-Pearson method for each Expression Quartile subgroup and for the subgroup of patients with an unknown or indeterminate expression result. Expression quartiles will be defined based on overall population. Associated odds ratios and 95% CIs will be calculated.

5.5 Interim Analysis

No formal interim analysis is planned.

The Sponsor (and/or designee) and Investigator(s) will review safety data from each dose cohort prior to dose escalation or de-escalation. In addition, an interim data summary may be performed at several times prior to completion of the study in order to facilitate program decisions and to support presentations or publications.

Targeted physical exams should be conducted at any time to follow up on AE reports. ^(d)Height is only required to be recorded at Screening (for BMI calculation). Weight is required to be recorded at Day 1 of each cycle. Dose will be adjusted only if weight change is >10% from first dose on Cycle 1 Day 1. ^(e)Vital signs include pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature in the supine position. Measure prior to dose and after completion of each IV infusion at the following time points: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour post-dose (30 minutes and 1 hour after HuAB1 only). Pulse oximetry is performed at rest and after exertion prior to dosing only. ^(f)Patient ECOG Status assessments are to be performed within 72 hours prior to dosing (Day 1 of each cycle). ^(g)Screening labs include serology for Hepatitis B (HBsAg and HBcAb), Hepatitis C (HCV antibody), HIV antibody, and Quantiferon test (for latent TB). ^(h)Clinical Safety Labs: Hematology including CBC with differential, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC, and RBC indices Chemistry includes CK (creatinine kinase), AST (aspartate transaminase), ALT (alanine transaminase), bicarbonate, bilirubin, (direct and total), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and, if applicable, serum pregnancy. If CK is elevated at any time, obtain troponins (cardiac and skeletal), CK isoenzymes, aldolase, and ECG; repeat CK and these additional tests daily or other interval as clinically indicated, until resolved or stable. If either AST or ALT is elevated, obtain total serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase; repeat daily or other interval, as clinically indicated, until resolved or stable. Additional tests may be obtained at any time, if clinically indicated. Urinalysis will only be done at Screening, and when clinically indicated. ^(i)Obtain ECG records at Screening and Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit (after PK blood draw, record exact time). Additional ECGs should be obtained at any time, if serum CK or cardiac troponin is elevated; if abnormal (excluding sinus tachycardia), ECGs should be obtained (if clinically indicated), until the abnormality is resolved or clinically stable. Additional ECGs may be obtained at any time, if clinically indicated. ECGs for each patient should be obtained from the same machine whenever possible. To minimize variability, it is important that patients be in a resting position for at least 5 minutes prior to each ECG evaluation. Body position should be consistently maintained for each ECG evaluation to prevent changes in heart rate. Environmental distractions (e.g., television, radio, conversation) should be avoided during the pre-ECG resting period and during ECG recording. jCT/MRI of the Tumor sites measured as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. If patient terminates prior to scheduled CT/MRI scans, subject should have scans done at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit. The same measuring modality should be used by the site to maintain consistency across the various time points. ^(k)Performed every 8 weeks for the first 12 months for patients who remain on treatment (and every 12 weeks thereafter) and 28 days (±7 days) after the last dose of study treatment. CT/MRI scans do not need to be repeated if performed within 8 weeks prior to the Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit or if tumor progression was previously determined. ¹All women of childbearing potential (including those who have had a tubal ligation) will have a serum pregnancy test at Screening, on Cycle 1 Day 1, and at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit and when clinically indicated. ^(m)Biopsy at primary tumor or metastatic tumor site will be collected at Screening and prior to Cycle 3, Day 1 dose. It is recommended that patients who have documented progression receive another biopsy at the end of treatment. Biopsies will be assessed for tumor associated leukocytes, tumor proliferation and cell death markers. ^(n)Samples will be collected for PK, PD, and ADA analyses. Not all visits will require collection of all three-see Appendix C for collection schedule. ^(o)Blood will be collected to evaluate Cmax & Cmin on day 1 of study drugs on Cycles 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 13, 21, and at the end of treatment. ^(p)Antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA). If the titer is positive, check erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to confirm result. Will be checked prior to dose at Cycles 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 13, 21, then every 6 cycles while on treatment and at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit. ^(q)HuAB1 +/− nivolumab study drug will be administered every 2 weeks in 14-day cycles for 4 weeks. The dosing may continue until PD or unacceptable toxicity. ^(r)These assessments are to be performed prior to each subsequent dose (with the exceptions noted in Appendix B) for those patients who continue treatment without signs of progressive disease or toxicity

Targeted physical exams should be conducted at any time to follow up on AE reports. A photo of the subject's eyes will be taken at baseline, and subsequently at follow up visits, as clinically indicated. ^(d)Height is only required to be recorded at Screening (for BMI calculation). Weight is required to be recorded at Day 1 of each cycle. Dose will be adjusted only if weight change is >10% from first dose. ^(e)Vital signs include pulse, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature in the supine position. Measure prior to dose and after completion of the IV infusion at the following time points: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour post-dose (30 minutes and 1 hour for HuAB1 only). Pulse oximetry is performed at rest and after exertion prior to dosing only. ^(f)Patient ECOG Status assessments are to be performed within 96 hours prior to dosing (Day 1 of each cycle). ^(g)Screening labs include serology for Hepatitis B (HBsAg and HBcAb), Hepatitis C (HCV antibody), HIV antibody, and Quantiferon test (for latent TB). ^(h)Clinical Safety Labs: Hematology including CBC with differential, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC, and RBC indices Chemistry includes CK (creatinine kinase), AST (aspartate transaminase), ALT (alanine transaminase), bicarbonate, bilirubin, (direct and total), BUN (blood urea nitrogen), calcium, chloride, creatinine, glucose, LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and, if applicable, serum pregnancy. If CK is elevated at any time, obtain troponins (cardiac and skeletal), CK isoenzymes, aldolase, and ECG; repeat CK and these additional tests daily or other interval as clinically indicated, until resolved or stable. If either AST or ALT is elevated, obtain total serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase; repeat daily or other interval, as clinically indicated, until resolved or stable. Additional tests may be obtained at any time, if clinically indicated. Urinalysis will only be done at Screening, and when clinically indicated. ^(i)Obtain ECG records at Screening and Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit (after PK/PD blood draw, record exact time). Additional ECGs should be obtained at any time, if serum CK or cardiac troponin is elevated; if abnormal (excluding sinus tachycardia), ECGs should be obtained (if clinically indicated), until the abnormality is resolved or clinically stable. Additional ECGs may be obtained at any time, if clinically indicated. ECGs for each patient should be obtained from the same machine whenever possible. To minimize variability, it is important that patients be in a resting position for at least 5 minutes prior to each ECG evaluation. Body position should be consistently maintained for each ECG evaluation to prevent changes in heart rate. Environmental distractions (e.g., television, radio, conversation) should be avoided during the pre-ECG resting period and during ECG recording. Additional tests may be obtained at any time, if clinically indicated. ^(j)CT/MRI of the Tumor sites measured as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. If subject terminates prior to scheduled CT/MRI scan, subject should have scans done at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit. Response per CT/MRI will be assessed using RECIST v1.1. In the case of PD-1 resistant melanoma and squamous lung cancer, CT scans need to be done at the end of Cycles 4 and 6. The same measuring modality should be preferably used by the site to maintain consistency across the various time points. The tumor assessments for all other cancer types will be done every 2 months (4 cycles) apart unless clinically indicated. ^(k)Performed every 8 weeks for the first 12 months for subjects who remain on treatment (and every 12 weeks thereafter) and 28 days (±7 days) after the last dose of study treatment. CT/MRI scans do not need to be repeated if performed within 8 weeks prior to the Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit or if tumor progression was previously determined. ^(l)All women of childbearing potential (including those who have had a tubal ligation) will have a serum pregnancy test at Screening and at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit and when clinically indicated. ^(m)Biopsy at primary tumor or metastatic tumor site will be collected at Screening and prior to Cycle 3, Day 1 dose. It is recommended that subjects who have documented progression receive another biopsy at the end of treatment. Biopsies will be assessed for tumor associated leukocytes, tumor proliferation and cell death markers. ^(n)Samples will be collected for PK, PD, and ADA analyses. Not all visits will require collection of all three-see Appendix C for collection schedule. ^(o)Blood will be collected to evaluate Cmax & Cmin on day 1 of study drugs on Cycles 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 13, 21, and at the end of treatment. ^(p)Antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA). If the titer is positive, check erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to confirm result. Will be checked prior to dose at Cycles 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 13, 21, then every 6 cycles while on treatment and at Treatment Completion/Early Termination Visit. ^(q)HuAB1 and nivolumab will both be administered by IV infusion over 30 minutes. Nivolumab will be given first, with a 30-minute rest between the 2 infusions, followed by HuAB1 30-minute infusion. ^(r)HuAB1 + nivolumab study drug will be administered every 2 weeks in 14-day cycles and will continue until PD or unacceptable toxicity. ^(s)These assessments are to be performed prior to each subsequent dose (with exceptions noted in Appendix B) for patients who continue treatment without signs of progressive disease or toxicity.
